🇺🇸 English

When Markwayne Mullin succeeded the dismissed Kristi Noem as Secretary of Homeland Security, he pledged to take measures to ensure that the department responsible for enforcing the Trump administration's mass deportation policy would no longer remain in the media spotlight.

馬克韋恩·穆林接替被解職的克莉絲蒂·諾姆出任國土安全部長承諾將設法使負責執行川普政府大規模驅逐政策的部門不再成為新聞焦點

However, within just a few months of Mullin taking office, the department once again found itself embroiled in controversy, as three people died in clashes with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials in less than a week.

然而穆林上任僅數月該部門便再度陷入爭議原因在於不到一週內有三人在與移民及海關執法局(ICE)官員的衝突中喪生

These incidents represent the first major test Mullin has faced since taking office, having pledged to bring stable control to an agency destabilized by his predecessor's policies and the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

這些事件穆林上任後首次面臨的重大考驗他曾承諾要為這個因前任施政及川普政府移民打壓而動盪的部門帶來平穩的掌控

While addressing the escalation of violence, he was compelled to adopt a balancing strategy, having to contend with pressure from a White House eager to implement mass deportations, respond to inquiries from former congressional colleagues, and simultaneously attempt to defuse the heightened tensions in American cities sparked by these deaths.

在應對暴力升級的同時他被迫採取平衡策略既要應對急於實施大規模驅逐的白宮所施加的壓力又要回應前國會同僚的質詢同時試圖緩和美國城市因這些死亡事件而升溫的緊張局勢

"When Secretary Mullin took office, he stated that his goal was to keep the department out of the headlines," Democratic Representative Seth Magaziner said on Tuesday while addressing the House.

穆林部長就任時表示其目標是讓該部門遠離新聞頭條,」民主黨眾議員塞斯·馬加齊納週二在眾議院發言時說道

Then, brandishing a newspaper, he added: "Well, now you're back on the damn front page."

隨後他揮舞著一份報紙:「如今又重返該死的新聞頭版了。」

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

穆林前奧克拉荷馬州參議員在諾姆因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被解僱後意外成為這個龐大部門的掌舵人選

As the minister responsible for implementing the government's mass deportation policy, Noem 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.

作為負責執行政府大規模驅逐政策部長諾姆推行了一種激進的移民執法風格經常親臨前線最為人熟知的一次訪問薩爾瓦多拘留中心

She promptly voiced her opinions publicly on controversial matters, issuing a statement regarding the two shootings in Minneapolis in which she accused the slain protesters of being agitators.

迅速就爭議事件公開發表意見針對明尼阿波利斯的兩起槍擊事件發表聲明指責被殺的抗議者為煽動者

Ultimately, President Donald Trump, who regarded mass deportation as a core commitment of his second term, grew dissatisfied with Noem due to a $200 million advertising campaign and her handling of the Minneapolis operation.

最終將大規模驅逐視為第二任期核心承諾總統唐納·川普一項耗資兩億美元的廣告活動以及諾姆處理明尼阿波利斯行動的方式而對她心生不滿

Mullin pledged to adopt a different governing approach while remaining committed to fulfilling the president's priorities.

穆林承諾採取不同的施政方針同時仍致力於實現總統的優先事項

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

他上任後首次公務行程並非宣傳移民執法而是前往北卡羅來納州視察颶風救災工作

Noem frequently accompanied her officials on immigration raids, whereas Mullin did not engage in such actions.

諾姆時常偕同其官員參與移民突襲行動穆林則無此舉

Since he assumed the role of Secretary and the outbreak of violence in Minneapolis, the government has shifted from high-profile and unpopular immigration enforcement actions in American cities to a more discreet enforcement strategy; this move has largely diverted media attention away from the crackdown measures.

自他接任部長一職明尼阿波利斯暴力事件爆發後政府便從美國城市中那些高調且不受歡迎的移民執法行動轉向更為低調的執法策略此舉在很大程度上轉移了媒體對打壓措施的關注

Under Mullin's leadership, Immigration and Customs Enforcement is also abandoning plans to use warehouses for detaining immigrants.

在穆林的領導下移民和海關執法局亦正放棄使用倉庫拘留移民的計畫。

Under Mullin's leadership, immigration arrests continue to be carried out, typically in a low-key manner: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) apprehended ten thousand people over five days at the end of June, averaging approximately two thousand per day.

在穆林的領導下移民逮捕行動仍持續進行且通常以低調方式執行美國移民及海關執法局(ICE)於六月底的五天內逮捕了一萬人平均每日約兩千人

At the same time, legal immigration pathways are also facing new restrictions.

與此同時合法的移民途徑亦面臨新的限制

During Mullin's tenure, Trump praised the secretary as 'remarkable' and 'amazing,' and commended his decision to relinquish his Senate seat in order to lead the Department of Homeland Security.

在穆林任職期間川普曾讚揚該部長非常了不起驚人」,並肯定為執掌國土安全部而放棄參議院席位的決定

Over the past few months, Mullin's policy shift appears to have begun yielding results.

數月以來穆林政策轉向似乎已初見成效

Although advocates and civil rights activists accuse the department of mistreating immigrants under his leadership, Mullin's less confrontational approach seems to have allowed the department to stay out of the public spotlight.

儘管倡導者民權運動人士指責該部門在其領導下虐待移民,但穆林較不具對抗性的作風似乎使該部門得以遠離公眾的關注焦點

The events of the past week have presented Mullin with new challenges, as he attempts to maintain a delicate balance between his moderate approach and the president's demands.

過去一週事件穆林帶來了新的挑戰,因為正試圖在其溫和路線總統的要求之間維持微妙的平衡

"Attempting to reconcile conflicting policy objectives is a challenge for any cabinet secretary, but Mullin's situation is more precarious than most," said Tom Warrick, a former counterterrorism official at the Department of Homeland Security who now works at the Atlantic Council.

試圖協調相互衝突的政策目標對任何內閣部長而言都是挑戰穆林的情況比大多數人更糟,」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

For the Department of Homeland Security, the White House expects to simultaneously meet immigration quota targets and maintain public trust;

就國土安全部而言白宮期望能同時達成移民配額目標維繫公眾信任

However, achieving this goaleven with the funding provided by Mullenremains an exceedingly formidable challenge.

然而要實現此一目標——即便有穆林所提供的資金——是一項極為棘手的挑戰

In Houston and Maine, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers opened fire during enforcement operations, striking individuals inside vehicles.

在休士頓與緬因州移民及海關執法局(ICE)官員於執法行動中開槍擊中車內人員

In Florida, an incident occurred in which a man attempting to flee from ICE officers died in a car crash.

佛羅里達州則發生一起事件一名試圖逃離ICE官員的男子因車禍身亡

Mullin has not yet publicly commented on these deaths, and the department's public relations office has only issued brief statements after each incident.

穆林迄今就這些死亡事件公開發表意見該部門的公關辦公室在每起事件發生後發布簡短聲明

Behind the scenes, Mullin frequently mentioned how he provided his personal mobile number to members of Congress and encouraged them to call him directly; he engaged in in-depth discussions with legislators and shared relevant information, which also included conversations with the two senators from Maine.

在幕後穆林時常提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他與立法者進行了深入交流並分享了相關資訊其中也包括與緬因州的兩位參議員進行了對話

Following a second fatal shooting in Maine, as criticism from protesters and Mullin's former congressional colleagues intensified, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has been ordered to suspend most vehicle checkpoints.

在緬因州發生第二起槍擊致死事件後,隨著抗議者穆林的前國會同僚所提出的批評日益高漲移民及海關執法局(ICE)已接獲命令暫停執行大多數的車輛攔檢行動

This move has provoked intense discontent among Trump's supporters.

此舉激起了川普支持者強烈不滿

Conservative opinion leader Nick Sot posted on platform X, asserting that this move was "tantamount to a complete surrender to the left."

保守派意見領袖尼克·索特在X平台上發文指稱此舉無異於向左派徹底投降」。

Another conservative activist, Mike Davis, accused Mullin of heeding the advice of Maine Senator Susan Collins, who had stated that she had proposed to the Secretary that vehicle checkpoints be suspended.

另一位保守派活動人士邁克·戴維斯則指責穆林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 challenge the guidelines of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), posting on social media: "We must demonstrate strength, resilience, and wisdom, and must not abandon one of ICE's most crucial and effective crime-fighting toolstraffic stops!"

一日後川普似乎對移民及海關執法局(ICE)的指導方針提出異議在社群媒體上發文表示:「我們必須展現強大堅韌與智慧絕不能放棄ICE最關鍵且最有效的打擊犯罪手段之一——交通攔檢!」

Mullin subsequently reposted Trump's remarks, adding that those present in the country 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者在任何地點遭到逮捕被驅逐出境」。

He later stated on platform X that he and the president were "in alignment."

稍後在X平台上表示他與總統立場一致」。

It remains unclear whether the vehicle interception measures have been reinstated.

目前尚無法確定車輛攔截措施是否已恢復運作

This move reveals the contradiction between Mullin's attempt to maintain calm and the president's advocacy for mass arrests of undocumented immigrantswhom the government often portrays as criminals.

此舉揭示了穆林試圖維持平靜總統主張大規模逮捕非法移民政府常將其描繪為罪犯)之間所存在的矛盾

Democratic figures harshly criticized the newly appointed minister, pointing out that under his leadership, the department had witnessed virtually no substantive change.

民主黨人士嚴厲抨擊這位新任部長指出在其領導下該部門幾乎未見任何實質變革

"If Secretary Mullin has the will and the backing of the White House, he is fully capable of taking control of ICE and compelling it to act within the law," stated Texas Democratic Congressman Joaquin Castro.

穆林部長若有意願獲得白宮支持,他完全有能力掌控ICE促其依法行事,」德州民主黨眾議員華金·卡斯特羅表示

"Thus, either he lacks interest in this matter, the White House has failed to support him, or the agents have spiraled completely out of control."

因此若非對此缺乏興趣便是白宮未予支持,抑或特工人員已徹底失控。」

Republican lawmakers, in turn, defended Mullin, underscoring the legitimacy of his stance.

共和黨籍議員為穆林辯護強調其立場的正當性

"I believe the secretary has indeed fulfilled the goals he committed to, striving to change the atmosphere there," stated New York State Assemblyman Andrew Garbarino.

我認為部長確實履行了他所承諾的目標致力於改變那裡的氛圍,」紐約州眾議員安德魯·加巴里諾表示

As chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, he has requested that the Department of Homeland Security arrange a bipartisan briefing on policies related to 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)使用武力的相關政策安排一場跨黨派的簡報會

"I do not believe anyone would celebrate ICE returning to the headlines," Garbarino stated.

並不認為有人ICE重返新聞頭條而慶賀,」加巴里諾如此表示
