11/16/2018 (World Journal) 編譯孫梁  川普政府實行強硬移民政策，甚至連保護歷史古蹟和野生動物的內政部也開始加強移民執法，今年5月以來，在國家公園和內政部管理的聯邦土地上，內政部執行4010次與非法移民有關的逮捕，而2016年全年僅126次，內政部長辛基稱暴增4000%。 目前仍由共和黨控制的眾院在考慮一項法案，准許邊界巡邏隊進入聯邦土地執法。辛基表示，內政部逮捕的人數大增4000%就表明偷渡問題的嚴重性。他說，而在上屆政府時期，內政部的土地向無證移民洞開，執法人員得不到保護，沒有資源和力量保護自己和社區的安全。 美墨邊界地區逾40%的土地是內政部和國家森林局控制，保護聯邦土地的內政部的執法人員超過4000人，為聯邦政府的第三大執法力量，包括國家公園巡警和警察，以及土地管理局、漁業和野生動物保護局和印第安事務管理局的執法人員。  Global Leaders in Math Education  APLUS教学中心 | 一对一辅导服务中心 | 申请咨询顾问中心 內政部的首要使命是保護國家公園內的自然資源，以免因為遊人太多而受到破壞。海關與邊境保護局(CBP)表示，過去為保護公園而限制他們進入，導致更難逮捕和制止非法偷渡，如今國家公園的執法人員與CBP達成了合作協議。 在內政部逮捕的4010個移民中，469人是在聯邦土地外逮捕的，內政部還沒收2356磅毒品。 內政部最新承擔的移民執法功能，在民主黨明年成為眾院多數後，將是被檢視的重點。 眾院自然資源委員會的民主黨資深成員格里加瓦(Raul Grijalva)說，面對移民大篷車隊湧向邊界，以及辛基宣布內政部逮捕的移民大增，他擔憂森林警察也會被派到美墨邊界。他要求辛基說明森林警察是如何執法和會否導致正常工作的人手不足，但內政部一直沒有答覆。  11/16/2018 DOI Law Enforcement also staging in anticipation of approaching caravan WASHINGTON - U.S. Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke today announced that in the first six months of a pilot program to provide an increased Interior law enforcement presence on identified Interior lands along the US-Mexico border, arrests of illegal aliens entering the United States increased by nearly 4,000 percent. In May of 2018, Secretary Zinke directed a Border Support Surge initiative, which coordinated law enforcement officers from the Department of the Interior and the U.S. Border Patrol to execute high level operations to patrol and protect the border with Mexico. The team saw immediate results. This increased posture provides greater situational awareness on illegal activities within public lands and parks, and allows for greater collaboration and information sharing between U.S. Border Patrol and Interior to minimize criminal activity in these areas. Interior is home to about 4,000 federal law enforcement officers and this is the first time the force has been used in this capacity. "First off, I applaud all our law enforcement for their tireless work keeping the American people safe and securing the border. President Trump made a promise to the American people that his administration will do everything we can to secure the southern border and protect our people, and that is exactly what Interior's law enforcement professionals are doing," said Secretary Zinke. "The fact that we were able to increase arrests by almost 4,000 percent is undeniable proof that there's a big problem. Under the previous administration, Interior's borderlands were basically an open door for illegal activity; and, what few law enforcement officers were down there were left unprotected and without the resources and backup needed to keep communities and themselves safe." Zinke continued, "The first six months of the border surge proved that there is a huge problem with illegal crossings on Interior lands and that a prolonged and more robust operation is needed until the wall is completed. We will increase our presence on the border in targeted regions and provide additional assistance to teams deploying in response to the oncoming caravan." During the first six months of the border surge, Interior law enforcement officers tallied:
From May 2016 until October 2016, Interior law enforcement apprehended and turned over 126 illegal aliens to the U.S. Border Patrol. During the same time period in 2018, Interior apprehended and turned over 4,010 illegal aliens to the U.S. Border Patrol. The Department of the Interior manages approximately 40% of the southwest border. Interior-managed properties along the southwest border include national park units, national wildlife refuges, and public lands under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management and Bureau of Reclamation. There are also Tribal Reservations and Native American Communities along or near the border. |    Principal,  Tel: (301)906-6889; (240)912-6290 Licensed in MD, VA, DC, PA WeChat ID: sunnychenyuqing NMLS # 1220187 President, Principal Loan Consultant, Leader Funding, Inc.  电话: (240) 784-6645 Rockville, MD Phone: 301-366-3497 |
