根据特朗普政府代理国土安全部部长发送的一份备忘录,根据拜登政府的某些项目暂时获准进入美国的移民可能会被迅速驱逐出境。
这份备忘录是由代理国土安全部部长本杰明·霍夫曼(Benjamine Huffman)在周四晚上发出的,美国广播公司新闻频道(ABC News)获得了这份备忘录。备忘录说,一名移民“根据一项可能被暂停、修改或终止的政策获得假释”,可能会被加速驱逐。
移居海关执法局有权驱逐此类移民“假释”项目-用于出于紧急人道主义原因准许移民入境。
古巴、海地、尼加拉瓜和委内瑞拉(CHNV)假释计划允许这些国家的某些移民申请进入美国的假释身份,最长可达两年。然而,申请人是有条件的,例如他们需要在美国有担保人,并且能够通过安全审查。
当总统时,这两个项目都被迅速废除了唐纳德·特朗普本周早些时候上任。
“拜登-哈里斯政府滥用人道主义假释计划,不加区别地允许150万移民进入我们的国家,”DHS发言人周二表示。“这一切在特朗普政府的第一天就被叫停了。这一行动将使人道主义假释项目回到其最初的目的,即在个案基础上看待移民。”
首先是备忘录据报告的由纽约《纽约时报》称,应该由ICE的代理人来审查个案,并决定有必要采取什么样的强制措施。
“采取一切必要步骤审查该外国人的案件,并在行使执法酌处权时,考虑是否应将任何此类外国人置于驱逐程序中;并审查外国人的假释状况,以在行使强制执行自由裁量权时,根据任何变化的法律或事实情况,确定假释是否仍然合适,”根据备忘录。
该备忘录称,对于移民及海关执法局“知道”的任何合法入境者,特工应采取“一切必要措施,确定他们是否应该入境”
“采取一切必要步骤审查该外国人的案件,并在行使执法酌处权时考虑是否申请加速驱逐。这可能包括终止任何正在进行的驱逐程序和/或任何有效的假释状态的步骤。”
政府将其快速驱逐权扩大到“法定最大限度”——这意味着在该国居住不到两年的人可以在没有移民听证会的情况下被驱逐——移民倡导者表示,这种法律解释从未被使用过。
“为了在短期内最大限度地提高效率,DHS方面可能希望优先考虑那些没有在法定期限内申请庇护的符合快速遣返资格的外国人,”DHS的备忘录说。
Migrants allowed in temporarily under Biden programs can be removed: DHS memo
Migrants allowed into the U.S. temporarily under certain Biden administration programs can be quickly expelled, according to a memo sent by the Trump administration's acting secretary of homeland security.
The memo, sent out Thursday night by Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Benjamine Huffman and obtained by ABC News, says that a migrant who has "been granted parole under a policy that may be paused, modified, or terminated" could be subject to expedited removal.
Immigrationand Customs Enforcement (ICE) has the freedom to deport migrants covered by such"parole" programs-- used to grant entrance to migrants under which for urgent humanitarian reasons.
The Cuban, Haitian, Nicaraguan, Venezuela (CHNV) parole program allowed for certain migrants from those counties to apply for parole status into U.S. for up to two years. There were, however, conditions on the applicants, for example they needed to have a sponsor in the U.S. and be able to pass security vetting.
Both programs were swiftly done away with when PresidentDonald Trumpcame into office earlier this week.
"The Biden-Harris Administration abused the humanitarian parole program to indiscriminately allow 1.5 million migrants to enter our country," a DHS spokesperson said on Tuesday. "This was all stopped on day one of the Trump administration. This action will return the humanitarian parole program to its original purpose of looking at migrants on a case-by-case basis."

The memo, firstreportedby TheNew YorkTimes, says it is up to an ICE agent to review an individual case and determine what enforcement is necessary.
"Take all steps necessary to review the alien's case and consider, in exercising your enforcement discretion, whether any such alien should be placed in removal proceedings; and Review the alien's parole status to determine, in exercising your enforcement discretion, whether parole remains appropriate in light of any changed legal or factual circumstances," according to the memo.
The memo says for any person in the country legally who ICE is "aware of," agents should take "all necessary steps to determine if they should be in the country
"Take all steps necessary to review the alien's case and consider, in exercising your enforcement discretion, whether to apply expedited removal. This may include steps to terminate any ongoing removal proceeding and/or any active parole status."
The administration expanded its expedited removal authority to its "statutory maximum" -- meaning someone who is in the country for less than two years can be removed without an immigration hearing -- an interpretation of the law that immigration advocates say has never been used before.
"To maximize efficiency in the short term, DHS components may wish to prioritize aliens eligible for expedited removal who failed to apply for asylum within the statutory deadline," the DHS memo said.
