印第安纳州参议员吉姆·班克斯详解：为何中西部大规模移民海关执法局突袭行动不足以落实特朗普移民议程

一场为期五天的大规模移民海关执法局行动在印第安纳州全境抓获426名移民，这正推动印第安纳州参议员吉姆·班克斯推动国会在未来政府扭转政策之前，将唐纳德·特朗普总统的移民打压政策正式写入法律。
移民海关执法局表示，联邦移民官员于8月30日至9月3日在他的家乡州展开行动，逮捕了426名有性犯罪、袭击、家庭暴力、贩毒和武器犯罪记录的人员，班克斯本周在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时对“安全社区行动：印第安纳”行动表示赞扬。
“这就是唐纳德·特朗普2024年当选的原因：大规模驱逐，”班克斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“这是他竞选期间的核心议程之一。而在印第安纳州的这起案件中，你可以看到其直接成果。”

移民海关执法局还感谢了州和地方执法机构的合作，这也是共和党人所强调的成功执法的关键要素。
但班克斯认为，此次行动也凸显了特朗普打压政策的局限性：如今激进的行政执法无法保证同样的移民政策在下一届政府中得以延续。

“将特朗普的边境安全措施和强硬移民政策编纂成法律，使其成为国家法律，这一点很重要，”他说。
此次突袭行动是这位议员此前由福克斯新闻数字频道报道的七项移民法案的延续，这些法案涉及公民身份出生地、家庭团聚移民、H-1B签证、非公民商业驾照以及国会对临时保护身份（TPS）的监管权，以限制司法干预。
“如果这种事能在印第安纳州发生，那它就能在任何地方发生，”他补充道，并称反对者在2025年移民拨款法案中排挤移民海关执法局后，使得实现移民目标变得更加困难。
“他们将其作为本届国会的首要任务之一，试图削减我们联邦执法机构的资金，阻止移民海关执法局履行职责，阻止驱逐非法居留的暴力罪犯，”他说。

“因此，将特朗普的边境安全措施和强硬移民政策编纂成法律、使其成为国家法律非常重要，这样下次——但愿不会如此——如果乔·拜登再次当选白宫，或者其他来自民主党激进阵营的人上台……”
班克斯还将矛头指向了自己所在的政党，批评共和党领导的参议院未能推进另一项他认为应作为优先事项的选举立法。
许多右翼人士敦促通过《拯救法案》，该法案要求提供美国公民身份的书面证明才能在联邦选举中登记投票。
“这是我对本届共和党参议院最大的失望之一——我们尚未通过该法案，”他说。
“我希望今年年底前我们能找到通过它的方法。我会继续为此奋斗，但归根结底，特朗普政府和司法部正在大力打击在我们选举中投票的非法移民。”
在印第安纳州的另一桩案件中，国土安全部于9月18日逮捕了一名非法移民，该人在奥巴马政府时期进入美国，后来还投了联邦选举的选票。
移民海关执法局执法部门助理主任帕特里夏·海德在宣布抓获危地马拉国民赫尔达·门德斯-梅里达“破坏我们的选举”时表示，投票权是“民主的基石”。
“我们不能允许这项神圣的投票权被扭曲，”她说。

班克斯表示，此类事件不断出现“是因为乔·拜登和民主党人向我国输送了数千万非法移民——他们至今仍在这里，大规模驱逐至关重要”。
参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩（南达科他州共和党人）多次反驳有关他未尽全力通过《拯救法案》或推进特朗普议程的批评。
图恩此前告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他是该法案先前版本的原始共同提案人，而通过和解这一议会策略所需的50票门槛仍是一个障碍。

“我一直在问自己，我是不是华盛顿唯一一个会数到50的人？因为这类问题反复出现，似乎很多人都没意识到，不会有民主党人倒戈投票支持这项法案，”图恩说。

Massive ICE sweep fuels GOP push to lock Trump immigration crackdown into law

Banks warns aggressive executive enforcement today won’t survive a future administration without new legislation

Sen Jim Banks reveals why massive Midwest ICE bust isn’t enough for Trump immigration agenda
Indiana Republican Senator Jim Banks points to 426 ICE arrests as a result of Trump’s enforcement push — but tells Fox News Digital why Congress still needs to act.

A massive five- day ICE operation that netted 426 arrests across Indiana is fueling Hoosier Sen. Jim Banks’ push for Congress to cement President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown into law before a future administration can reverse course.
Banks hailed “Operation Safe Community: Indiana” in a Fox News Digital interview this week after federal immigration officers fanned out across his home state from Aug. 30 through Sept. 3, arresting 426 people with records involving sex crimes, assault, domestic violence, drug trafficking and weapons offenses, according to ICE.
“This is why Donald Trump was elected in 2024: for mass deportation,” Banks told Fox News Digital. “It was one of his key agenda items during the campaign. And in this case in Indiana, you see the direct result of it.”

ICE also credited cooperation with state and local law enforcement agencies in carrying out the operation, something Republicans have flagged as a key aspect to successful enforcement.
But Banks argued the operation also underscores a limitation of Trump’s crackdown: aggressive executive enforcement today does not guarantee that the same immigration policies survive the next administration.

“It is important that we codify Trump border security measures and tough-on-immigration policies and make them the law of the land,” he said.
The busts build on the lawmaker’s seven-bill immigration package, previously reported by Fox News Digital, which targets issues including birthright citizenship, family-based immigration, H-1B visas, noncitizens’ CDLs and congressional authority over Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to limit judicial intervention.
“If this could happen in Indiana, it could happen anywhere,” he added, arguing that the opposition has made it tougher to achieve immigration goals after displacing ICE from the 2025 immigration appropriations legislation.
“They’ve made that one of their biggest priorities in this Congress to defund our federal law enforcement, to stop ICE from doing their job, to deport violent criminals who are here illegally,” he said.

“So it is important that we codify Trump border security measures and tough-on-immigration policies and make them the law of the land so that the next time, God forbid, a Joe Biden ever gets elected back to the White House or someone that comes from that radical wing of the Democrat Party…”
Banks also directed his frustration at his own party, criticizing the Republican-led Senate for failing to advance separate election legislation that he says should be another priority.
Many on the right have pressed for passage of the SAVE Act, a bill requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.
“That’s one of my biggest disappointments with this Republican Senate – we haven’t passed it,” he said.
“I hope by the end of the year that we can find a way to pass it. I’m going to keep fighting for it, but at the end of the day, the Trump administration and the Department of Justice is doing a lot crack down on illegals voting in our elections.”
In a separate Indiana case, DHS arrested an illegal immigrant on Sept. 18 who had entered the U.S. during the Obama administration and later cast a federal ballot.
ICE Enforcement Division Assistant Director Patricia Hyde said the right to vote is the “cornerstone of democracy” in announcing the capture of Guatemalan national Helda Mendez-Merida for “poisoning our elections.”
“We cannot allow that sacred right [to vote] to be perverted,” she said.

Banks said such incidents keep surfacing “because Joe Biden and Democrats flooded our country with tens of millions of illegals – they’re still here [and] mass deportation is important.”
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has repeatedly pushed back on criticism he is not working hard enough to pass the SAVE Act or advance the Trump agenda.
Thune previously told Fox News Digital that he is an original co-sponsor of a previous version of the bill and that the 50-vote threshold needed to pass provisions that qualify for the parliamentary maneuver known as reconciliation remains a sticking point.

“I keep asking the question, am I the only one in this town that can count to 50? Because it seems like these questions recur and there are a lot of people out there who haven’t seemed to internalize the fact that there aren’t Democrats that are going to flip and vote for this,” Thune said.
