民主党众议院国土安全委员会成员在与美国移民及海关执法局(ICE)官员举行闭门会议后表示,自特朗普政府上台以来,一名ICE官员因过度武力事件被转介接受纪律处分 [1]。
根据披露的数据,ICE收到了56起过度武力投诉,其中32起被驳回,1起转介纪律处分,其余仍在调查中 [1]。众议院议员Seth Magaziner对此表示:"一个拥有20,000多名官员的机构,在过去一年半看到的所有混乱中,除了可能一个人外,没有人被发现违反了使用武力政策,这简直令人难以置信" [1]。
这些关切源于近期发生的枪击事件。缅因州和休斯敦都发生了ICE官员射杀移民的事件,两起事件均涉及对正在行驶中的车辆内的移民的射击 [1]。据统计,自特朗普政府加强移民执法后,至少有10人在与ICE特工的冲突中丧生 [1]。
会议还涉及执法政策问题。关于车辆停靠,现行指导仅以口头方式传达,而非书面指令 [1]。
虽然一名官员已被转介接受纪律处分,但尚未处以任何实际处分 [1]。
Democratic members of the House Homeland Security Committee revealed after a closed-door meeting with immigration enforcement officials that one Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer has been referred for disciplinary proceedings over a use-of-force incident since the Trump administration took office [1].
The disclosure came as concerns mount over insufficient oversight of the agency following fatal shootings of immigrants in Maine and Houston [1]. The referral represents a fraction of broader concerns: among 56 complaints of excessive force, 32 have been dismissed, one has been referred for discipline, and the remainder remain under investigation [1].
The enforcement actions have resulted in heightened casualties. At least 10 people have died in altercations with immigration agents as the Trump administration has intensified enforcement operations [1]. Both the Maine and Houston shooting incidents involved agents firing at immigrants inside moving vehicles [1].
Rep. Seth Magaziner expressed frustration over the limited disciplinary outcomes, stating: "It's unbelievable that an agency with more than 20,000 officers, in all the chaos we've seen over the past year and a half, has found that, possibly with the exception of one person, no one has been found to have violated the use-of-force policy" [1].
Current guidance regarding vehicle stops represents an additional oversight gap. Instructions on this subject matter are conveyed only verbally rather than through written directives [1].
