美国国会议员说，一名政府移民官员告诉他们，几乎所有无证移民都可能成为被逮捕和驱逐出境的对象。
代理移民暨海关执法局长托马斯·贺曼星期四在国会山与10名民主党议员会面。来自德克萨斯州的民主党众议员朱利安·卡斯特罗说，会谈结束后很难相信“川普政府不会把执法目标尽可能扩大。”
卡斯特罗说，唯一的例外是符合“童年入境暂缓遣返”计划（DACA）的人，也就是在小时候来到美国，并受到前总统奥巴马建立的这一计划保护的移民。
卡斯特罗说, “他们唯一犹豫的是要不要把DACA计划的受益人也算在内。除此之外，对他们来说，剩下每个人都是执法对象。”
川普总统上任后第一个星期发布了行政命令，为扩大移民法执法奠定了基础。行政令指出，“许多非法入境，和那些逾期居留或违反签证规定的外国人对美国国家安全和公共安全构成重大威胁。”
参加星期四会议的国会议员们表示，在上周的行动中被逮捕的686名无证移民中，有120人没有犯罪记录。
移民暨海关执法局说，在“有针对性”的执法行动中，移民官员经常遇到可能违反联邦移民法的其他嫌疑人。执法局说，“这些人将根据具体情况评估，并在适当时由执法局逮捕。”
只有10名民主党人获准参加与移民暨海关执法局代理局长的会议，其他几人被要求离开。
Members of Congress said a government immigration official told them that almost all undocumented immigrants are “fair game” for arrest and deportation.
Acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Thomas Homan met with 10 Democratic representatives on Thursday on Capitol Hill. Afterwards, Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) said it was hard to leave the meeting and believe “the Trump administration is not going to target as many immigrants as possible.”
Castro said the only exception was Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients-- immigrants who came to the United States at a young age and have been protected under a program established by former President Barack Obama.
“The only hesitation they seem to have was whether they would go after DACA recipients ... Aside from that, everybody else is fair game for them,” Castro said.
President Donald Trump issued an executive order in his first week in office that set the stage for broader immigration enforcement.
“Many aliens who illegally enter the United States and those who overstay or otherwise violate the terms of their visas present a significant threat to national security and public safety,” the order says.
Members of Congress from Thursday's meeting said out of the 686 undocumented immigrants arrested during last week's round-up, 120 did not have criminal records.
ICE said during “targeted” enforcement operations officers frequently encounter additional suspects who may be in violation of federal immigration laws. “Those persons will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and, when appropriate, arrested by ICE,” the agency said.
Only 10 Democrats were allowed to attend the meeting with ICE's acting director, while several others were asked to leave.
