独家报道：从警员遭尾随、骚扰，到应对骚乱和当地警方拒绝协助，洛杉矶移民海关执法局外勤办公室主任托马斯·吉尔斯向福克斯新闻数字频道独家披露了在美国最大的庇护城市之一开展行动每日面临的风险。
福克斯新闻数字频道于周四清晨跟随吉尔斯和一支移民海关执法局警员团队在洛杉矶地区开展了一次移民执法行动。在行动期间的车内采访中，吉尔斯强调，尽管“这不会让我们停止行动”，但加州的庇护政策将警员和社区都置于风险之中。
“庇护政策确实对我们的行动产生了影响——如果能在安全环境下完成拘押移交，工作会轻松很多，”他解释道。“因此，这些政策迫使我们的警员深入社区，这不仅让警员自身处于危险之中，也让其他社区成员面临风险，我们不得不外出尝试逮捕目标人员。”
福克斯新闻数字频道目睹移民海关执法局于周四清晨逮捕了六名非法移民，其中一人曾因用棒球棒实施袭击被定罪，另一人曾多次非法入境美国。

吉尔斯解释说，由于加州正在进行的诉讼程序，移民海关执法局警员不得敲门搜查目标住所，甚至不得踏入目标住所周边区域。这使得执法行动变得复杂，警员不得不在公共场所或通过潜在危险的车辆拦停来逮捕目标。
他表示，“在实施这些庇护政策之前……我们每天都会在当地看守所逮捕数百人，将他们带回进行审讯。”如今，当地执法部门“甚至无法与我们合作”，他称这“绝对是一个重大的公共安全威胁”。
吉尔斯以本次行动的一名目标为例：20岁的洪都拉斯国民胡利奥·阿尔贝托·阿罗卡-罗德里格斯，当地警方于一周前因使用棒球棒作为致命武器实施袭击将其逮捕。阿罗卡-罗德里格斯入境美国的时间和地点不明，自2019年起就被下达了驱逐令。当地当局拒绝遵从移民海关执法局的拘押请求，将其释放。
当移民海关执法局警员于周四偶遇阿罗卡-罗德里格斯时，他们还拘留了另外四名被认定为非法移民的“连带人员”。完成逮捕后，警员们迅速撤离，因为一群反移民海关执法局的煽动者已经开始聚集。
吉尔斯将加州众多政客、媒体和公众对移民海关执法局执法人员的态度描述为“对移民海关执法局男女警员所从事工作的贬低”。

“我的警员遭到尾随回家、骚扰，在社交媒体上被骚扰，还遭到人身骚扰，他们会凑到你面前挑衅，”他说。
他还批评那些戴着面具的反移民海关执法局煽动者，称他们“一边抱怨我们戴口罩，一边自己也和我们戴得一样”。
尽管面临这些情况，吉尔斯仍称赞他的警员们是热爱这个国家、“希望维护宪法”的美国人。

“我们在履行职责；我们是宣誓就职的执法人员。我们和其他执法人员一样，努力维护社区安全，”他说。“我只是认为，目前有大量言论误导大众，很多人并不清楚我们的工作内容，我们正努力向公众说明这一点。”

EXCLUSIVE: From agents being followed home and harassed to dealing with riots and local police refusing to assist, ICE Los Angeles Field Office Director Thomas Giles gave Fox News Digital an inside look at the daily risks of conducting operations in one of America’s largest sanctuary cities.
Fox News Digital accompanied Giles and a team of ICE officers on an immigration enforcement operation in the Los Angeles area early Thursday morning. In an interview from inside his vehicle during the operation, Giles emphasized that while “it’s not going to shut us down and stop us,” California’s sanctuary policies put both his agents and the community at risk.
“The sanctuary policies definitely impact our operations in terms of it’d be a lot easier for us to have that transfer of custody in a secure environment,” he explained. “So, what it does for us is it sends our officers out into the community, putting our officers at risk and other community members at risk to go out and try to apprehend this individual.”
Fox News Digital witnessed ICE arrest six illegal immigrants Thursday morning, including one who had been convicted of assault with a baseball bat and another who had been convicted of illegally re-entering the U.S. multiple times.

Giles explained that because of ongoing litigation in California, ICE officers are not allowed to knock on a target’s door or even set foot on the area surrounding the property. This complicates enforcement by forcing officers to apprehend targets in public spaces or through potentially dangerous vehicle stops.
He said that “before we had all these sanctuary policies … we were picking up hundreds of people a day at the local jails and bringing them in and processing them.” Now, local law enforcement “can’t even work with us,” which he said “is definitely a big, huge public safety threat.”
As an example, Giles pointed to one of the operation’s targets, 20-year-old Honduran national Julio Alberto Aroca-Rodriguez, whom local police had arrested the week before for assault with a deadly weapon using a baseball bat. Aroca-Rodriguez entered the U.S. at an unknown date and location and has been subject to a removal order since 2019. Local authorities declined to honor ICE’s request to hold Aroca-Rodriguez and released him.
When ICE officers encountered Aroca-Rodriguez on Thursday, they also detained four other “collaterals” identified as illegal immigrants. After making the arrests, the officers quickly relocated because a crowd of anti-ICE agitators had begun to form.
Giles described the treatment of ICE law enforcement officers by many California politicians, the media and members of the public as “degrading to the work that the men and women of ICE do.”

“My officers have been followed home and been harassed, harassed on social media, harassed just personally, and they get in your face and everything else,” he said.
He also criticized anti-ICE agitators who wear masks while simultaneously “complaining about us wearing masks but they look the same as we do as well.”
Despite this, Giles praised his officers as Americans who “love this country” and “want to support the Constitution.”

“We’re out doing our job; we are sworn law enforcement officers. We’re out trying to keep the community safe just like other law enforcement officers,” he said. “I just think there’s a lot of rhetoric out there that a lot of people don’t know exactly what we do and we’re trying to portray that out to the public.”
