Authorities said on Thursday that federal immigration enforcement officers were about half a mile away when a man unlawfully present in the United States died in a high-speed crash in Michigan last weekend.

当局周四表示,上周末在密歇根州,一名非法滞留美国的男子高速撞车身亡时,联邦移民执法人员距事发地约半英里。

The authorities sought to refute claims that they had been pursuing him.

当局试图反驳有关他们正在追缉的说法。

The death of Mario Coronado Juarez has enraged friends and activists, and Governor Gretchen Whitmer has instructed the state police to investigate the car crash that occurred on Sunday morning in Grand Rapids.

马里奥·科罗纳多·华雷斯的死亡激怒了朋友和活动人士,州长格雷琴·惠特默已指示州警方调查这起周日早晨在大急流城发生的车祸。

The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement that Juarez was Guatemalan and was apparently not a specific target of law enforcement officers.

国土安全部在一份声明中表示,华雷斯是危地马拉人,显然不是执法人员的特定目标。

However, the car he was driving was registered under another person's name, and that individual was likewise staying in the United States illegally and was wanted by the Guatemalan authorities.

但他驾驶的汽车登记在另一人名下,而此人同样非法滞留美国,且已被危地马拉方面通缉。

"When law enforcement officers attempted to pull the vehicle over to verify the driver's identity, the driver fled at high speed," the Department of Homeland Security said.

“当执法人员试图将其拦停以核实司机身份时,该司机高速逃离,”国土安全部说。

"Out of concern for public safety, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers immediately called off the enforcement action."

“出于公共安全考虑,移民和海关执法局执法人员立即中止了执法行动。”

"Shortly afterwards, officers spotted smoke nearly half a mile from the spot where they had attempted the stop, and saw that the vehicle had crashed into a tree and caught fire," the Department of Homeland Security said.

“不久后,执法人员在距试图拦停地点近半英里处发现烟雾,并看到该车辆已撞上一棵树并起火,”国土安全部说。

The agency stated that, before emergency responders arrived in Grand Rapids, law enforcement officers had attempted to assist Juarez and extinguish the fire.

该机构称,在大急流城急救人员抵达之前,执法人员曾试图对华雷斯施以援手并扑灭火势。

Juarez, who was over thirty years old, died at the scene.

年逾三十的华雷斯当场身亡。

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have tracked and arrested individuals deemed to be targets, only to discover afterwards that they had the wrong person.

移民和海关执法局执法人员曾对被视为打击目标的人员进行跟踪并实施逮捕,事后却发现对象另有其人。

However, as the agency rapidly expands and recruits 12,000 enforcement officers, its longstanding practices are coming under increased scrutiny.

然而,随着该机构迅速扩张并招聘1.2万名执法人员,其长期做法正受到更多审视。

Police say that in Evanston, Illinois, a U.S. citizen clashed on Sunday with immigration enforcement officers who mistook him for a fugitive, and then collapsed by the roadside covered in blood.

警方称,在伊利诺伊州埃文斯顿,一名美国公民周日与误将其当作逃犯的移民执法人员发生冲突,随后满身血迹地倒在路边。

The Department of Homeland Security said that, despite a "lawful order," the man initially refused to identify himself.

国土安全部表示,尽管有“合法命令”,该男子起初仍拒绝表明身份。

Grand Rapids Mayor David LaGrand has expressed his support for the state police investigation into Juarez's death.

大急流城市长戴维·拉格兰德对州警方就华雷斯之死展开的调查表示支持。

The city police department stated that on Sunday, they did not become involved until after they were called to the scene of the car crash.

该市警察局方面称,周日当天,他们直至被召至车祸现场之后方才介入。

"While we don't know what Mario was thinking or feeling at the time, we do know that his death occurred against the backdrop of a nationwide climate that instills fear in our immigrant neighbors," Ragland said.

“虽然我们不知道马里奥当时在想什么、感受如何,但我们知道,他的死亡发生在全国性制造我们移民邻居恐惧氛围的背景下,”拉格兰德说。

Gemma Lowe, an immigrant rights activist, said that Juarez relied on construction work in Grand Rapids to support his wife and three children, and that he was saving up with the intention of building a house for them in Guatemala, where his family lives.

移民权利活动人士杰玛·洛表示,华雷斯靠在甘 Rapids 从事建筑工作来养活妻子和三个孩子,并积攒积蓄,打算在危地马拉为他们建造一所房子,而他的家人就住在那里。

On Tuesday, in a square outside City Hall, she led the crowd in chanting Juarez's name and said that he died because Immigration and Customs Enforcement had carried out a "vicious persecution" of immigrant workers.

周二,她在市政厅外的一个广场上带领人群高呼华雷斯的名字,并称其之所以死亡,是因为移民和海关执法局对移民工人进行了“恶毒迫害”。

Democratic U.S. Representative Hillary Scholten, who represents Grand Rapids, sent a detailed letter to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, in which she requested that any video recorded by law enforcement officers be preserved.

代表大急流城的民主党籍联邦众议员希拉里·肖尔滕向移民和海关执法局发出了一封详细信函,信中要求保留执法人员录制的任何视频。
