🇺🇸 English

Upon assuming the role of Secretary of Homeland Security from the dismissed Kristi Noem, Mark Wayne Mullin vowed to steer the department tasked with enforcing the Trump administration's mass deportation policy far from the media spotlight.

馬克韋恩·穆林遭解職的克莉絲蒂·諾姆手中接掌國土安全部長一職時,他誓言負責執行川普政府大規模驅逐政策部門徹底遠離新聞焦點

Yet, within mere months of Mullin's assumption of office, the agency under his purview once again found itself at the epicentre of a media firestormwithin the span of a single week, three individuals met their demise in confrontations with officers of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

然而穆林履新僅數月其所轄部門便再度淪為輿論風暴核心——短短一週之內,竟有三人在與移民及海關執法局(ICE)官員的交鋒中命喪黃泉

These incidents constitute the first formidable challenge Mullin has faced during his tenurehe had vowed to bring steady control to an agency that had been destabilised by his predecessor's policies and the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

這些事件構成穆林任內所面臨的首項嚴峻考驗——他曾矢言為這個因前任施政方針川普政府移民打壓而動盪不安的部門,帶來穩健的掌控

While contending with an escalation of violence, he was compelled to execute a highly intricate balancing act: on one hand, he had to manage the pressure from the White House, which was eager to push forward with mass deportations; on the other, he was obliged to address inquiries from former congressional colleaguesall the while striving to mitigate the mounting tensions in American cities precipitated by these fatalities.

在應對暴力升級的同時他被迫執行一項高度複雜的平衡策略一方面需應付白宮急於推動大規模驅逐的壓力另一方面則須回應前國會同僚的質詢——與此同時還得設法緩和因這些死亡事件而在美國城市中日益高漲的緊張局勢

"Upon assuming office, Secretary Mullin declared that his administrative vision was to render the department entirely absent from the news pages," remarked Democratic Representative Seth Magaziner during his address to the House on Tuesday.

穆林部長履新之際宣示其施政願景在於使本部徹底淡出新聞版面,」民主黨眾議員塞斯·馬加齊納週二於眾議院發言時如是說

Thereupon, he brandished a newspaper and remarked with a sardonic tone, "Behold, you have now once again graced the damned front page."

旋即,他揚起一份報紙語帶譏諷:「瞧瞧閣下如今重返那該死的新聞頭版了。」

Mullin, a former Oklahoma state senator, unexpectedly assumed the helm of this vast department after Noem was dismissed earlier this year, following two incidents in Minneapolis in which federal immigration officers fatally shot American protesters.

穆林前奧克拉荷馬州參議員,在諾姆今年稍早於明尼阿波利斯發生的兩起聯邦移民官員槍殺美國抗議者事件而遭解職後,意外成為此龐大部門的掌舵者

As the minister charged with executing the government's vision of mass deportation, Noem has adopted an aggressive approach to immigration enforcement, frequently appearing on the front lines, most notably during a visit to a detention center in El Salvador.

作為肩負執行政府大規模驅逐願景之責的部長諾姆推行了一種激進的移民執法風格她時常親臨前線最為人熟知的一次是造訪薩爾瓦多拘留中心

She was quick to publicly opine on contentious incidents, issuing a statement regarding the two shootings in Minneapolis in which she denounced the slain protesters as agitators.

她迅速就爭議事件公開發表意見針對明尼阿波利斯兩起槍擊事件發表聲明指責遇害的抗議者為煽動者

Ultimately, President Donald Trump, who had enshrined mass deportation as the central tenet of his second-term agenda, grew disenchanted with Noem, owing to a two-hundred-million-dollar advertising campaign and her handling of the operation in Minneapolis.

最終將大規模驅逐出境奉為第二任期核心施政方針的總統唐納·川普一項耗資兩億美元的廣告宣傳活動以及諾姆在明尼阿波利斯行動中的處置方式而對她心生不滿

Mullin pledged to operate under a markedly different approach from the past, while remaining steadfast in fulfilling the priorities set by the president.

穆林承諾將以迥異於往昔的方針行事同時仍矢志達成總統所訂定的優先要務

His first official trip after assuming office was not to promote immigration enforcement, but to inspect hurricane relief efforts in North Carolina.

履新後的首趟公差並非宣揚移民執法而是前往北卡羅來納州視察颶風災後救援工作

Noem frequently accompanied her officials on immigration raidsMullin, by contrast, has never done so.

諾姆時常偕同其官員參與移民突襲行動——穆林則從未如此

Since his assumption of the ministerial post and the eruption of unrest in Minneapolis, the authorities have shifted from the previously implemented, highly conspicuous and unpopular immigration enforcement operations across American cities to a more subdued enforcement strategy; this maneuver has, to a considerable extent, successfully diverted media attention away from the clampdown.

自其履任部長一職明尼阿波利斯爆發動亂之後,當局便從先前於美國各城市所推行之備受矚目且不得人心的移民執法行動,轉而採取較為低調的執法策略;此舉在很大程度上成功轉移了媒體對於打壓行動的關注焦點

Under Mullin's stewardship, Immigration and Customs Enforcement is also abandoning its erstwhile plan to detain immigrants in warehouses.

在穆林主導之下移民暨海關執法局亦正放棄原先利用倉庫拘留移民之計畫

Under Mullin's leadership, immigration arrests continue unabated, yet they are typically conducted with a low profile and without ostentation: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) apprehended 10,000 individuals in a mere five days at the end of June, averaging approximately 2,000 per day.

在穆林主導下移民逮捕行動仍持續進行但通常低調而不張揚美國移民及海關執法局(ICE)於六月底短短五日內即逮捕了1萬人平均每日約2,000人

Concurrently, lawful immigration pathways are also encountering novel restrictions.

與此同時合法的移民途徑亦面臨新的限制

During Mullin's tenure, Trump lauded the secretary as 'extraordinary' and 'breathtaking,' while commending his decision to resign his Senate seat in order to assume leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

在穆林任職期間川普盛讚該位部長極為卓越」與「令人嘆為觀止」,並表揚執掌國土安全部辭去參議員席位決定

Over the course of several months, the strategic pivot implemented by Mullin appears to have begun yielding tangible results.

數月以來穆林所採取的策略轉向似乎已初顯成效

Although advocates and civil rights activists have accused the department of subjecting immigrants to harsh treatment under his leadership, Mullin's comparatively less confrontational modus operandi seems to have enabled the agency to remain largely outside the purview of public scrutiny.

儘管倡導者與民權運動人士指責該部門在其領導下對移民施以苛待,然而穆林那種較不具對抗性的處事風格似乎使該部門得以遠離公眾關注的焦點

The events of the past week have presented Mullin with an unprecedented and formidable trial, compelling him to tread a precarious tightrope between his own moderate course and the President's uncompromising demands.

過去一週所發生的事件為穆林帶來了前所未有的嚴峻考驗迫使其在自身溫和路線總統的強硬要求之間,進行一場如履薄冰的微妙平衡

"Attempting to reconcile conflicting policy objectives is a formidable challenge for any cabinet secretary, yet the predicament confronting Mullen is far more acute than that faced by most of his peers," remarked Tom Warrick, a former counterterrorism official at the Department of Homeland Security who now serves at the Atlantic Council.

試圖調和相互牴觸的政策目標對任何內閣部長而言皆為艱鉅挑戰然而穆林所面臨的困境遠比多數同僚更為嚴峻,」前國土安全部反恐官員現任職於大西洋理事會湯姆·沃里克如是說

For the Department of Homeland Security, the White House endeavours to strike a balance between meeting immigration quotas and maintaining public trust; however, even with the financial backing that Mullin commands, the realisation of this objective remains an exceedingly formidable challenge.

就國土安全部而言白宮力圖在達成移民配額與維繫公眾信任之間取得平衡然而即便有穆林所擁有的資金作為後盾如何實現此一目標仍舊是一項極其艱鉅的挑戰

In Houston and Maine, officers of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) discharged their firearms at individuals inside a vehicle during an enforcement operation, resulting in fatalities.

在休士頓與緬因州移民暨海關執法局(ICE)官員於執法行動中以槍械射擊車內人員致其身亡

Concurrently, a man in Florida who attempted to evade apprehension by ICE officials perished in a vehicular accident.

與此同時,佛羅里達州一名試圖逃離ICE官員追捕的男子,因車禍而喪生

Mullin has yet to issue any public statement regarding these fatalities, and the department's public relations office, following each incident, has released only a statement of exceedingly terse wording.

穆林迄今仍未就這些死亡事件公開發表任何言論該部門的公關辦公室在每起事件發生後僅發布措辭極為簡潔的聲明

Behind the scenes, Mullin frequently recounted how he had furnished members of Congress with his personal mobile number, urging them to contact him directly; he engaged in substantive dialogues with legislators, disseminating pertinent information, which encompassed conversations with both of Maine's senators.

在幕後穆林時常談及他如何將個人手機號碼提供給國會議員並鼓勵他們直接致電與他聯繫他與立法者進行了深入交流並分享了相關資訊其中亦包括與緬因州兩位參議員的對話

Following a second fatal shooting in Maine, as protests and criticism from Mullin's former congressional colleagues intensified, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has received directives to suspend the vast majority of its vehicle checkpoints.

在緬因州發生第二起槍擊致死事件後隨著抗議聲浪與穆林前國會同僚的批評日益高漲移民及海關執法局(ICE)已接獲指令暫停絕大多數的車輛攔檢行動

This decision has incited vehement indignation among Trump's adherents.

此一決策激起了川普擁躉們強烈憤慨

Conservative influencer Nick Sortor posted on the X platform, asserting that this move was "tantamount to an outright capitulation to the left."

保守派影響者尼克·索特在X平台上發表言論指稱此舉無異於向左翼徹底投降」。

Conservative activist Mike Davis, meanwhile, launched a vehement critique of Mullin, contending that he had heeded the counsel of Maine Senator Susan Collinswho had previously stated that she had proposed to the Secretary a suspension of vehicle interdiction measures.

保守派活動人士邁克·戴維斯則嚴厲抨擊穆林認為其聽從了緬因州參議員蘇珊·柯林斯的建議——後者曾表示她已向部長提議暫停車輛攔截措施

A day later, Trump appeared to take issue with the policy of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), posting on social media: "We must be tough, resilient, and shrewd, and must never relinquish one of ICE's most crucial and effective crime-fighting toolstraffic stops!"

一日之後川普似對移民及海關執法局(ICE)的方針提出異議於社交平台發文稱:「我們必須強悍堅韌睿智絕不能放棄ICE最關鍵且最有效的打擊犯罪利器之一——交通攔檢!」

Mullin subsequently reposted Trump's remarks, adding that those within the nation's borders would be "arrested and deported from any location."

穆林隨後轉發了川普的言論補充道,身處該國境內者在任何地點遭到逮捕被驅逐出境」。

Thereafter, he stated on platform X that he was "in agreement" with the president.

其後,他在X平台上表示,他與總統意見一致」。

It remains impossible to ascertain whether the vehicle interdiction measures have been reinstated.

目前尚無法斷定車輛攔截措施是否已恢復運作

Nevertheless, this action lays bare a pronounced incongruity between Mullin's endeavours to preserve tranquillity and the President's policy of orchestrating mass arrests of undocumented immigrantswhom the authorities habitually depict as criminals.

然而此舉揭示了穆林試圖維繫平靜之舉總統大規模逮捕非法移民當局常將其描繪為罪犯)之政策間,存在著顯著的齟齬

Democrats launched a scathing critique of the newly appointed minister, alleging that within the department under his purview, virtually no substantive transformation could be discerned.

民主黨人嚴厲抨擊這位新任部長指稱在其主導的部門內幾乎察覺不到任何實質性的變革

Secretary Mullin, if he has the will and receives the full backing of the White House, is entirely capable of taking control of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and compelling it to adhere to the law,” stated Representative Joaquin Castro, a Democrat from Texas.

穆林部長倘若有意願獲得白宮鼎力支持,他完全具備掌控移民及海關執法局(ICE)迫使其恪遵法律的能力,」德州民主黨籍眾議員華金·卡斯特羅表示

Therefore, either he lacks the inclination to do so, the White House has withheld its support, or the agencys agents have become entirely ungovernable.

因此若非對此興致缺缺,便是白宮未予支持,抑或該局特工全然脫序

Republican lawmakers, for their part, mounted a defense of Mullin that, in its meticulous reasoning and rhetorical finesse, stands as a paragon of the art of advocacy within the legislative body.

共和黨籍議員為穆林進行了辯護其論述之縝密修辭之精妙堪稱立法機構中辯護藝術的典範

"The Secretary's fulfillment of his pledge, coupled with his concerted efforts to reshape the atmosphere of that locale, stands as a testament to the embodiment of his administrative intentions," remarked Andrew Garbarino, a U.S. Representative from New York State.

部長兌現其承諾致力於重塑該地氛圍之舉,堪稱其施政意圖之體現,」紐約州眾議員安德魯·加巴里諾如是說

In his capacity as Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, he has formally requested that the Department of Homeland Security convene a bipartisan briefing concerning the policies governing the use of force by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

身為國會國土安全委員會主席,他已要求國土安全部移民及海關執法局(ICE)使用武力之相關政策舉行一場跨黨派簡報

"I categorically reject the notion that anyone would celebrate ICE's return to the headlines," Garbarino stated.

絕不認同有人ICE重返新聞焦點而歡慶鼓舞,」加巴里諾如此表示
