Markwayne Mullin, who assumed the role of Secretary of Homeland Security as the successor to the dismissed former Secretary Kristi Noem, pledged to shield the department, which enforces the Trump administration's large-scale deportation policy, from media scrutiny.

解任されたクリスティ・ノーム前長官後任として国土安全保障長官に就任したマークウェイン・マリン氏は、トランプ政権による大規模な強制送還政策を執行する同省を、メディアの注目から遠ざけることを公約した

However, just a few months after Marin took office, the department found itself once again embroiled in controversy following an incident in which three people died within less than a week during encounters with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers.

しかしマリン氏の就任からわずか数カ月後1週間にも満たない期間に移民税関捜査局(ICE)の職員との接触で3人が死亡する事件が発生したことを受け同省は再び論争の渦中にある

These incidents represent the first major test for Ms. Marin, who had promised to lead the department with a steady hand after it had been thrown into disarray by her predecessor's actions and the Trump administration's intensified immigration enforcement.

これらの事件前任者の行動トランプ政権による移民取り締まり強化混乱した省庁を、安定した手腕で率いると約束したマリン氏にとって最初の大きな試練となる。

As he deals with rising violence, he finds himself caught between pressure from the White House to push for mass deportations and demands for explanations from former fellow lawmakers, while also being forced to strike a difficult balance by attempting to ease tensions over deaths in cities across the United States.

暴力の増加に対処する中で、彼はホワイトハウスからの大量強制送還推進の圧力説明を求めるかつての同僚議員たちの間で板挟みになりさらに米国各地の都市で死亡事件をめぐる緊張緩和を図らなければならないという難しいバランスを強いられている

"Secretary Marin stated upon taking office that he would keep this department off the front page of the news," said Democratic Representative Seth Magaziner on Tuesday during a House floor session.

マリン長官就任時にこの省庁をニュースの一面から遠ざけると述べた」と民主党のセス・マガジナー下院議員火曜日に下院本会議で述べた。

Then, waving a newspaper, he remarked, "Well, we're back on the damned front page again."

そして新聞を振りながら、「さてまた忌々しい一面に戻ってきたな」と語った

Mullin, a former senator from Oklahoma, was chosen as an unexpected candidate to lead this vast department after Noem was dismissed following an incident earlier this year in Minneapolis, where federal immigration officers shot and killed two American protesters.

オクラホマ州出身の元上院議員であるマリン氏は今年初めにミネアポリスで連邦移民職員が米国人抗議者2人を射殺した事件を受けてノーム氏が解任された後この巨大省庁を率いる意外な人選として選ばれた

As the executive in charge of the administration's large-scale deportation plan, Noem took a leading role and promoted an aggressive immigration enforcement style.

政権による大規模強制送還計画実行責任者としてノーム氏前面に立ち積極的な移民執行スタイル推進した

Among these efforts, the most notable was her visit to a detention facility in El Salvador.

その中でも最も有名なのはエルサルバドルの収容施設訪問である。

She quickly spoke publicly about controversial incidents, issuing a statement regarding the two fatal shootings in Minneapolis in which she condemned the slain protesters as instigators.

彼女は物議を醸す出来事について迅速に公の場で発言しミネアポリスで発生した二件の射殺事件に関して殺害された抗議者扇動者と非難する声明を発表した

President Donald Trump, who has made mass deportations a central pledge of his second-term administration, ultimately grew increasingly dissatisfied with Ms. Noem, citing a $200 million advertising campaign and her handling of the Minneapolis operation as reasons.

大量強制送還第二期政権中心的公約として掲げるドナルド・トランプ大統領は、最終的に二億ドル規模広告キャンペーンミネアポリス作戦への対応理由に、ノーム氏に対する不満を募らせた

While promising to implement the president's priorities, Marin also pledged to adopt a different approach.

マリン氏は大統領の優先事項を実行することを約束しつつもそれとは異なるアプローチを取ることを公約した

His first official trip as secretary was not to promote immigration enforcement, but to inspect hurricane recovery efforts in North Carolina.

長官としての最初の出張は移民執行の促進ではなくノースカロライナ州におけるハリケーン復興活動の視察であった

Whereas Noem frequently accompanied staff on immigration raids, Marin has not engaged in such actions.

ノーム氏が頻繁に職員と共に移民摘発に出向いていたのに対しマリン氏はそのような行動を取っていない

Since he took office as secretary, the administration, prompted by a violent incident in Minneapolis, has shifted its policy from immigration enforcement operations that had garnered significant unpopularity in urban areas of the United States to a quieter enforcement approach that avoids media attention.

彼が長官に就任して以降ミネアポリスでの暴力事件を契機に政権は米国都市部で顕著な不評を買っていた移民取り締まり作戦からメディアの耳目を集めないより静かな執行手法へと方針転換を図った

Under Marin's leadership, ICE has also withdrawn from plans to use warehouses for immigrant detention.

マリン氏の指揮下でICEは移民収容のための倉庫活用計画からも手を引いている

However, even under Marin's leadership, arrests of immigrants have continued, with most of them attracting little to no attention.

しかしマリン氏の下でも移民の逮捕継続しておりその多くほとんど注目を集めることはない

Over a five-day period in late June, ICE arrested 10,000 individuals, reaching an average of approximately 2,000 arrests per day.

6月下旬の5日間でICEは1万人を逮捕し1日平均約2000件の逮捕件数に達した

Furthermore, new restrictions have been imposed on legal immigration pathways as well.

さらに合法的な移民経路に対しても新たな制限が課されている

Trump has praised Marin during her tenure as secretary, calling her 'very impressive' and 'remarkable,' and has highly commended her for giving up her Senate seat to lead the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

トランプ氏はマリン氏が長官在任中、同氏を「非常にすごい」「驚くべき」と称賛し上院議席を捨てて国土安全保障省(DHS)を率いたことを高く評価してきた

For several months, the shift in Mr. Marin's approach appeared to have taken hold.

数カ月間マリン氏によるアプローチの変化が定着しているように見えた

Although advocacy groups and civil rights activists accused the department of mistreating immigrants under his leadership, Mr. Marin's non-confrontational approach seemed to keep the agency out of the spotlight.

擁護団体公民権活動家彼のリーダーシップの下で省庁が移民を虐待している非難したが、マリン氏の対立的でないアプローチ省庁を注目の的から遠ざけるようだった

However, the events of last week have presented Mr. Marin with a new challenge.

しかし先週の出来事マリン氏新たな課題をもたらしている

He is being forced to perform an extremely difficult balancing act between his own moderate approach and the president's demands.

彼は自身の穏健なアプローチ大統領の要求の間で極めて困難な綱渡りを強いられている

"Balancing competing policy objectives is a challenge for any cabinet member, but Mr. Marin finds himself in an even more precarious position than most of his colleagues," said Tom Warrick, a former counterterrorism official at the Department of Homeland Security who now works at the Atlantic Council.

競合する政策目標への対応どの閣僚にとっても難しい課題だがマリン氏ほとんどの同僚よりもさらに厳しい立場にある」と、国土安全保障省の元テロ対策当局者で、現在はアトランティック・カウンシルに所属するトム・ウォリック氏は述べた

As far as the Department of Homeland Security is concerned, the White House demands that immigration quotas be met while maintaining public trust, and how to achieve this is an extremely challenging task, even if Ms. Marin has the funding.

国土安全保障省に関して言えば、ホワイトハウス移民割当達成しつつ国民の信頼維持することを求めておりそれをいかに実現するかは、マリン氏資金を有しているとしても極めて困難な課題である。

ICE officers in Houston and Maine shot and killed an individual who was inside a vehicle during an immigration operation.

ヒューストンとメイン州のICE職員は移民作戦中に車内にいた個人射殺した

In Florida, a man who attempted to flee from ICE officers died in a car accident.

フロリダ州ではICE職員から逃亡を図った男性自動車事故により死亡した

Mr. Marin has made no public reference whatsoever to these deaths, and the ministry's press office has limited itself to issuing brief statements after each incident.

マリン氏はこれらの死亡事件に関して公の場で一切言及しておらず、省の広報室各事件後簡潔な声明を発表するに留まっている

Behind the scenes, Marine, who frequently claims to share his personal mobile number with lawmakers and urge them to call him directly, has been consulting with them and sharing information, and has exchanged views with both of Maine's senators.

水面下では自身の携帯電話番号を議員と共有し直接電話するよう勧めていると頻繁に語るマリン氏は、議員と協議し情報を共有しておりメイン州の両議員とも意見交換を行った

In the wake of a second shooting incident in Maine, amid mounting criticism from activists and Marin's former congressional colleagues, ICE was instructed to suspend most vehicle stops.

メイン州における2件目の銃撃事件を受けて抗議活動家マリン氏のかつての議会同僚からの非難が高まる中ICEは大半の車両停止を中断するよう指示された

This decision sparked intense outrage among Trump supporters.

Conservative influencer Nick Sortor described this as a "complete surrender to the left" in a post on X.

保守派インフルエンサーのニック・ソーター氏Xへの投稿で、これを「左翼への完全なる降伏」と表現した

Conservative activist Mike Davis accused Marine of following the advice of Senator Susan Collins from Maine.

保守活動家のマイク・デイビス氏は、マリン氏メイン州選出のスーザン・コリンズ上院議員助言従った非難した

Senator Collins stated that she had proposed a temporary suspension of vehicle stops to the Secretary.

コリンズ議員は、長官に対して車両停止の一時中断提案した述べている

A day later, Trump appeared to contradict his directive to ICE, posting on social media: "We must be strong, tough, and wisewe cannot abandon 'traffic enforcement,' one of ICE's most crucial and effective crime-fighting tools!"

1日後トランプ氏はICEへの指示に反するように見えソーシャルメディアに我々は強く、タフで賢明でなければならずICEの最も重要で効果的な犯罪対策ツールの一つである交通取り締まり』を放棄することはできない!」と投稿した

Ms. Malin subsequently reposted Mr. Trump's remarks, adding that people within the country would be "arrested and deported wherever they may be."

マリン氏その後トランプ氏の発言再投稿し国内にいる人々は「どこにいようと逮捕され強制送還される」と付け加えた

She then stated on X that she held "the same view" as the president.

続けてX上で大統領と「同じ見解である」と述べた

The resumption of vehicle operations was not immediately confirmed.

車両運行再開即座に確認されることはなかった

However, this reveals the friction that arose between Ms. Marin's efforts to maintain composure and the president's demand for the mass arrest of undocumented immigrants, whom the administration often portrays as criminals.

しかしこれはマリン氏が平静を保とうと努める姿勢と、政権がしばしば犯罪者として描写する不法移民大量に逮捕するよう求める大統領の要求との間に生じた軋轢を示している

The Democratic Party has vehemently criticized the new secretary, asserting that virtually no substantive changes have been observed in the ministry's operations.

民主党は新長官を激しく非難し省庁の運営に実質的な変化がほとんど見られないと主張している

Democratic Representative Joaquin Castro of Texas stated as follows: "Secretary Marin has the capacity to take control of ICE and bring the agency into compliance with the law, provided he has the will and the backing of the White House.

テキサス州選出の民主党議員ホアキン・カストロ氏次のように述べた。「マリン長官は、その意志がありかつホワイトハウスの支持を得られればICEを掌握し同機関を法令に準拠させる能力を有している

Therefore, it is either that he lacks the will, that the White House is withholding support, or that the staff have simply lost control."

したがって彼にその意志がないかホワイトハウスが支援を惜しんでいるか、あるいは職員が単に統制を失しているかのいずれかである。」

Republican lawmakers have maintained their stance of defending Marine.

共和党議員らマリン氏擁護する立場堅持している

"I believe the Secretary has achieved his goal of transforming the culture of that organization," stated Representative Andrew Garbarino of New York.

長官は、あの組織風土変えたいという自身の願望達成してきたと思う」と、ニューヨーク州選出のアンドリュー・ガルバリーノ下院議員は述べた

As chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, the congressman is demanding a bipartisan explanation from the DHS regarding ICE's use-of-force policies.

同議員下院国土安全保障委員会委員長としてICE武力行使方針についてDHS超党派の説明求めている

"No one would welcome ICE drawing renewed attention," said Mr. Garbarino.

ICE再び注目を集めることを喜ぶなどいないだろう」とガルバリーノ氏は述べた
