Authorities asserted on Thursday that at the time a man unlawfully present in the United States was killed in a high-speed collision in Michigan last weekend, federal immigration enforcement officers were positioned roughly half a mile from the scene—a disclosure aimed at rebutting assertions that they had been pursuing him.

当局于周四宣称,上周末在密歇根州,一名非法滞留美国的男子因高速撞车而殒命之际,联邦移民执法人员所处位置距事发地约莫半英里之遥;当局此举意在驳斥有关其正对该男子实施追缉的种种说法。

The death of Mario Coronado Juarez has provoked outrage among his friends and activists, and Governor Gretchen Whitmer has instructed the state police to investigate the crash, which occurred early on Sunday morning in Grand Rapids.

马里奥·科罗纳多·华雷斯之死令其友人及活动人士群情激愤,州长格雷琴·惠特默已责成州警方就这起于周日清晨发生在大急流城的车祸展开调查。

In a statement, the Department of Homeland Security said that Juarez was a Guatemalan national and evidently was not the specific target of law enforcement officers.

国土安全部在一份声明中表示,华雷斯系危地马拉籍人士,显然并非执法人员所针对的特定目标。

However, the car he was driving was registered to another individual who was likewise unlawfully present in the United States and who was already being sought by Guatemalan authorities.

然而,其所驾驶的汽车登记在另一人名下,而此人同样非法滞留美国,且已遭危地马拉方面通缉。

"When law enforcement officers attempted to pull the vehicle over in order to verify the driver's identity, the driver sped away at high speed," the Department of Homeland Security stated.

“当执法人员意欲拦停以核实司机身份之际,司机竟高速逃逸,”国土安全部表示。

"Out of consideration for public safety, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers promptly discontinued their enforcement action."

“鉴于公共安全之考量,移民和海关执法局执法人员旋即中止了执法行动。”

"Shortly thereafter, roughly half a mile from the spot where the attempted stop had occurred, officers caught sight of smoke and then discovered that the vehicle had struck a tree and caught fire," the Department of Homeland Security stated.

“未几,执法人员于距拦截未遂地点近半英里处瞥见烟雾,继而发现该车辆已撞树起火,”国土安全部表示。

According to the agency, law enforcement officers had attempted to render aid to Juarez and extinguish the flames before emergency responders arrived in Grand Rapids.

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 in his thirties, was pronounced dead at the scene.

华雷斯年逾三十,当场殒命。

Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers have in the past tracked down and arrested individuals believed to be on their target lists, only to discover afterward that they were someone else entirely.

移民与海关执法局执法人员曾有过这样的做法:对被认为属于打击目标之列的人员实施跟踪与逮捕,事后却发现其身份另有其人。

Yet as the agency undergoes rapid expansion and recruits 12,000 enforcement officers, its long-standing practices are coming under increasingly rigorous scrutiny.

然而,随着该机构急剧扩张并招募1.2万名执法人员,其长期沿袭的做法正面临愈发严格的审视。

Police reported that in Evanston, Illinois, on Sunday, an American citizen became embroiled in a confrontation with immigration enforcement officers who mistook him for a fugitive, after which he was found lying beside the road, covered in blood.

警方通报,在伊利诺伊州埃文斯顿,一名美国公民于周日与误将其认作逃犯的移民执法人员发生冲突,其后满身血迹地倒卧路旁。

The Department of Homeland Security stated that, notwithstanding the issuance of "lawful orders," the man initially refused to identify himself.

国土安全部称,尽管已下达“合法命令”,该男子起初仍拒不表明身份。

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 claims that on Sunday, they had no involvement in the matter until they were summoned to the scene of the car crash.

该市警察局声称,周日当天,他们直至被传唤至车祸现场之前,均未介入此事。

"While we cannot know what Mario was thinking or feeling at the time, what is certain is that his death occurred amid an atmosphere deliberately cultivated across the nation, one that has plunged our immigrant neighbors into profound fear," Ragland said.

“尽管我们对马里奥彼时的心绪与感受无从知晓,但可以确知的是,他的死亡发生于一种举国上下蓄意营造、令我们的移民邻里深陷恐惧的氛围之中,”拉格兰德说道。

The immigrant rights activist Gemma Lowe pointed out that Juárez supported his wife and three children by working in construction in Grand Rapids, and that he was saving money with the intention of building a house for them in Guatemala, which is precisely where his family resides.

移民权利活动人士杰玛·洛指出,华雷斯靠在甘 Rapids 从事建筑工作,以此养活妻子和三个孩子,并积攒钱财,意欲在危地马拉为他们建造一所房子,而他的家人正是居住在那里。

On Tuesday, in a plaza outside City Hall, she led the crowd in chanting Juárez's name, and asserted that his death was attributable to the "vicious persecution" of immigrant workers perpetrated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

她于周二在市政厅外的一处广场上率领人群高呼华雷斯之名,并声称其之所以殒命,乃是缘于移民和海关执法局对移民工人所施行的“恶毒迫害”。

Hillary Scholten, the Democratic U.S. Representative for Grand Rapids, has submitted a detailed letter to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, encompassing a demand that any video footage recorded by law enforcement officers be properly preserved.

代表大急流城的民主党籍联邦众议员希拉里·肖尔滕已向移民和海关执法局递交了一封内容详尽的信函,其中涵盖了一项诉求,即要求妥善留存执法人员所录制的任何视频资料。
