美国国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林誓言将继续推行驱逐出境政策，尽管民主党在11月3日的中期选举中赢得了参众两院的控制权，这为围绕唐纳德·特朗普总统的移民执法议程可能爆发冲突埋下了伏笔。
US Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has vowed to continue deportations despite Democrats winning control of both chambers of Congress in the November 3 midterm elections, setting up a potential clash over President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda.“Deportations will continue,” Mullin wrote in a brief post on X on November 4, signaling that the administration intends to maintain its immigration crackdown despite the Republican electoral setback.
“驱逐出境将继续，”马林于11月4日在X平台上的一篇简短帖文中写道，表明政府打算在共和党遭遇选举挫折的情况下，维持其移民打击行动。民主党夺取众议院和参议院的控制权，使其掌握了国会委员会的控制权，并拥有更大的权力调查联邦机构，包括国土安全部（DHS）和移民与海关执法局（ICE）。
The party’s takeover of the House and Senate gives it control of congressional committees and greater authority to investigate federal agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).The shift is expected to intensify scrutiny of deportation operations, detention facilities and immigration enforcement spending.
这一权力转移预计将加强对驱逐出境行动、拘留设施以及移民执法支出的审查。美国国家公共电台（NPR）的选举分析指出，这些胜利将开启国会对特朗普政府进行调查的新时期。
NPR's election analysis said the victories would usher in a new period of congressional investigations into the Trump administration.

众议院国土安全委员会民主党人在选举结果出炉后发帖“清空你的日程”，此举针对马林，表明这位部长在新一届国会于1月召开后可能面临国会听证会。
House Homeland Security Committee Democrats posted “clear your calendar” in a message directed at Mullin after the election results, indicating that the secretary could face congressional hearings once the new Congress convenes in January.
密西西比州众议员本尼·汤普森是该委员会的民主党首席议员，预计将出任主席。
Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi, the committee’s ranking Democrat, is expected to become its chairman.
在民主党领导下，该委员会将获得更大权力，可发出传票、强制作证并调查联邦移民执法。特朗普重提推行永久夏令时，批评参议院法案停滞 民主党阻止驱逐出境的能力受限尽管民主党将控制国会，但其立即叫停驱逐出境的能力依然有限。白宫表示，特朗普第二任政府期间已实施超过60.5万次驱逐出境，另有约190万次自愿离境。
Under Democratic leadership, the committee would gain greater authority to issue subpoenas, compel testimony and investigate federal immigration enforcement. Trump renews push for permanent daylight saving time, criticizes Senate over stalled bill Democrats face limits on blocking deportationsAlthough Democrats will gain control of Congress, their ability to immediately stop deportations remains limited. The White House has said that more than 605,000 deportations have taken place under Trump's second administration, alongside approximately 1.9 million voluntary departures.
特朗普政府已投入大量资源用于移民执法。2025年通过的一项共和党支持的拨款方案，为截至2029年9月的移民执法拨款约1700亿美元。国会控制权的变更不会自动暂停驱逐出境。政府可继续执行现有移民法，而民主党需要通过立法或资金变更才能大幅调整该计划。特朗普反对的任何立法也可能面临总统否决。穆林的声明凸显了政府继续推行驱逐出境的决心。
Trump administration has already committed substantial resources to immigration enforcement. A Republican-backed funding package approved in 2025 allocated approximately $170 billion for immigration enforcement through September 2029.A change in congressional control does not automatically suspend deportations. The administration can continue enforcing existing immigration laws, while Democrats would need legislative or funding changes to significantly alter the program. Any legislation opposed by Trump could also face a presidential veto. Mullin's declaration underscores the administration's determination to continue deportations.
