美議員被告知：幾乎所有無證移民都可能成爲被驅逐對象

Members of Congress said a government immigration official told them that almost all undocumented immigrants are “fair game” for arrest and deportation.

Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Thomas Homan met with 10 Democratic representatives on Thursday on Capitol Hill. Afterwards, Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) said it was hard to leave the meeting and believe “the Trump administration is not going to target as many immigrants as possible.”

Castro said the only exception was Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients-- immigrants who came to the United States at a young age and have been protected under a program established by former President Barack Obama.

“The only hesitation they seem to have was whether they would go after DACA recipients ... Aside from that, everybody else is fair game for them,” Castro said.

President Donald Trump issued an executive order in his first week in office that set the stage for broader immigration enforcement.

“Many aliens who illegally enter the United States and those who overstay or otherwise violate the terms of their visas present a significant threat to national security and public safety,” the order says.

Members of Congress from Thursday's meeting said out of the 686 undocumented immigrants arrested during last week's round-up, 120 did not have criminal records.

ICE said during “targeted” enforcement operations officers frequently encounter additional suspects who may be in violation of federal immigration laws. “Those persons will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and, when appropriate, arrested by ICE,” the agency said.

Only 10 Democrats were allowed to attend the meeting with ICE's acting director, while several others were asked to leave.美國國會議員說，一名政府移民官員告訴他們，幾乎所有無證移民都可能成爲被逮捕和驅逐出境的對象。

代理移民暨海關執法局長托馬斯·賀曼星期四在國會山與10名民主黨議員會面。來自德克薩斯州的民主黨衆議員朱利安·卡斯特羅說，會談結束後很難相信“川普政府不會把執法目標儘可能擴大。”

卡斯特羅說，唯一的例外是符合“童年入境暫緩遣返”計劃（DACA）的人，也就是在小時候來到美國，並受到前總統奧巴馬建立的這一計劃保護的移民。

卡斯特羅說, “他們唯一猶豫的是要不要把DACA計劃的受益人也算在內。除此之外，對他們來說，剩下每個人都是執法對象。”

川普總統上任後第一個星期發佈了行政命令，爲擴大移民法執法奠定了基礎。行政令指出，“許多非法入境，和那些逾期居留或違反簽證規定的外國人對美國國家安全和公共安全構成重大威脅。”

參加星期四會議的國會議員們表示，在上週的行動中被逮捕的686名無證移民中，有120人沒有犯罪記錄。

移民暨海關執法局說，在“有針對性”的執法行動中，移民官員經常遇到可能違反聯邦移民法的其他嫌疑人。執法局說，“這些人將根據具體情況評估，並在適當時由執法局逮捕。”

只有10名民主黨人獲准參加與移民暨海關執法局代理局長的會議，其他幾人被要求離開。
