据报道，一份指导部分ICE办公室暂停逮捕无犯罪记录非法移民的文件引发了政策鹰派的强烈反弹，也让人质疑特朗普政府是否在执法问题上发出了相互矛盾的信号。
该指导意见在数小时内便被撤销，特朗普告诉福克斯新闻，执法优先顺序并未改变——优先打击但不限于“最恶劣的违法者”。据多位知情人士透露，这份口头指导已传达给全美ICE外勤办公室，但目前仍不清楚最初是谁下达了该指令。
政府官员随后将其描述为一场误解，而非正式的政策调整，数小时内便发布了新的指导意见，重申执法政策并未改变。不过，这一事件加剧了一些移民鹰派的担忧，他们表示，政府官员近期的公开信息暗示，国内执法的范围比特朗普竞选时承诺的要窄。
大规模驱逐联盟领导人、监督项目主席迈克·豪厄尔认为，公众批评确实迫使政府收回了该指导意见，但他同时表示，这一事件也符合他所观察到的国土安全部（DHS）在国内移民执法问题上一贯的信息混乱模式。
“（该指导意见）据称被撤销了，这是件好事，我认为它能在很大程度上被撤销，很大程度上是因为民众的呼声非常、非常响亮，”豪厄尔说道，同时补充道，国土安全部在相关问题上的一些表态暗藏令人不安的潜流：

国土安全部不会“挑挑拣拣”执法：马伦部长
豪厄尔以国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马伦在ICE指导意见曝光前一天发布的一条推文为例。该推文称，该部门“不会在堪萨斯州开展职场执法行动”，但会将目标对准有犯罪记录的非法移民和那些面临递解出境的人员。
这条推文发布之前，ICE在堪萨斯州的行动引发了堪萨斯州联邦参议员罗杰·马歇尔（共和党籍）的投诉，他称国土安全部在自由城等城市的执法行动中未与地方当局协调。
“我从未见过哪位部长会以书面形式做出这类表态，”豪厄尔说道。“如果是奥巴马、克林顿或拜登时期的国土安全部部长说这话，我们本会呼吁弹劾他们。”

当被要求进一步阐明观点时，豪厄尔直言不讳：“如果马约尔卡斯（前国土安全部部长）发这条推文，我会立刻呼吁弹劾他：公然承认他们没有执行法律、没有忠实履职——这是换一种方式的特赦。”
豪厄尔强调，他并不是呼吁弹劾马伦，而是用这个对比来强调他对放宽全面移民执法的严重担忧。
他进一步指出，这种信号摇摆对拜登政府时期任职的普通ICE特工不公平。
目前仍不清楚该指导意见的发起者，但福克斯新闻获悉，这是一场“误解”，相关责任人可能会受到惩戒。
一位消息人士周日晚间告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，该指令“确实已经下达”，一些移民聚居的共和党选区民众对家人因职场执法行动被捕感到愤怒，堪萨斯州就是一个例证。
“这种来回摇摆对ICE及其执法人员极不公平，他们的任务就是实际驱逐这些人，”他说。“他们看新闻、刷X平台，看到这些相互矛盾的信号，这已经影响到了执法行动。”

白宫发言人劳伦·比斯予以反驳，称特朗普一直明确表示“没有任何人可以置身事外”。
“国土安全部继续为美国人民带来成果，包括史上最安全的边境，以及连续三个月创下纪录的ICE逮捕人数，”她说道，并援引迄今已有超过300万人被驱逐出境的数据。
一份ICE报告也显示，8月份的月逮捕人数达到创纪录的5.1万人，而一位知情人士证实，此前发布的ICE指导意见是一场“沟通失误”，并非来自高层。
主张收紧移民管制的移民研究中心执行主任马克·克里科里安表示，这一情况具有独特的警示意义，因为当前共和党内部在移民执法问题上存在公开或隐性的分歧。
“所有这一切都发生在政府内部在移民问题上目标和信息相互矛盾的背景下，”他说。
克里科里安表示，政府可能因反复强调“最恶劣的违法者”这一重点而加剧了这种混乱，尽管包括边境专员汤姆·霍曼在内的官员曾表示，无犯罪记录的移民并非免于执法。
“政府确实需要统一内部口径，这样才能对外传达一致的信息，”克里科里安说道。
他认为，更大的悬而未决的问题是职场执法。他表示，职场执法对于推动非法移民自行离境至关重要，但也会在寻求劳动力的企业利益与要求更严格执法的工薪阶层共和党人之间制造政治紧张关系。
克里科里安称，支持低薪移民带来的“宽松劳动力市场”的共和党捐赠者，与要求更严格劳动力市场和更严格执法的工薪阶层共和党阵营存在冲突。

克里科里安表示，他原本希望特朗普或马伦在堪萨斯州争议事件后澄清，政府并非“随机”打击雇主，而是基于雇佣非法移民企业的情报开展职场执法行动。
包括马歇尔和佛罗里达州联邦众议员玛丽亚·埃尔维拉·萨拉查（共和党籍）在内的多位共和党人，在中期选举前就批评了政府的移民政策。克里科里安认为，相互矛盾的信号也可能对支持严格执法的特朗普选民产生政治影响——他援引了大企业与选民基础之间的竞争压力。
“你不能在推特上发文说你没有做选民希望你做的事，”他说。
克里科里安赞扬了政府的边境政策，但认为国内执法和职场执法给特朗普联盟带来了更复杂的政治权衡。
在《华尔街日报》的报道曝光后，国土安全部部分回应称“这是虚假信息。没有任何人可以置身事外。”

ICE confusion ignites MAGA backlash: ‘I would have called for impeachment’

‘I’ve never seen a secretary put anything like that in writing,’ said Mass Deportation Coalition leader Mike Howell.

Reported guidance directing some ICE offices to pull back on arrests of illegal immigrants without criminal histories triggered backlash from policy hawks, raising questions whether the Trump administration is sending conflicting signals on enforcement.
The guidance was rescinded within hours, and Trump told Fox News there had been no change in an enforcement posture that prioritizes — but is not limited to — the “worst first.” The verbal guidance had been relayed to ICE field offices around the country, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter, though it remains unclear who initially issued the instruction.
Administration officials later characterized it as a misunderstanding rather than a formal policy change, and new guidance reaffirming there had been no change in enforcement policy was sent within hours. The episode nevertheless reinforced concerns among some immigration hawks who say recent public messaging from administration officials has suggested a narrower approach to interior enforcement than Trump campaigned on.
Mike Howell, a leader of the Mass Deportation Coalition and president of The Oversight Project, argued public criticism helped force the reversal but said the episode also fit what he views as a broader pattern of mixed messaging from DHS on interior immigration enforcement.
“[The guidance] was walked back, allegedly, which is great, and I think it was in large part walked back because people spoke out very, very loudly,” Howell said, while adding there is a troubling undercurrent to some of DHS’ messaging on the greater matter:

As an example, Howell pointed to a tweet from DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin posted one day before the ICE guidance news broke, in which the secretary said the department was “not conducting worksite operations in Kansas” but was targeting criminal illegal immigrants and those facing removal.
The post followed ICE operations in Kansas that prompted complaints from Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., who said DHS had failed to coordinate with local authorities during operations in cities including Liberal.
“I’ve never seen a secretary put anything like that in writing,” Howell said. “[If it were] an Obama or Clinton or Biden DHS secretary, we would have called for impeachment if they said that.”

Asked to put a finer point on it, Howell stated outright: “If Mayorkas tweeted that, I would have immediately called for his impeachment: for flagrant admission that they are not enforcing the laws and faithfully executing them — It was amnesty by another means.”
Howell emphasized that he was not calling for Mullin’s impeachment, but using the comparison to underscore how seriously he views any pullback from broad immigration enforcement.
He further argued that shifting signals are unfair to rank-and-file ICE agents who served during the Biden administration.
It remained unclear who originated the guidance, but Fox News was told it was a “misunderstanding” and that the person responsible would likely face reprimand.
A source told Fox News Digital on Sunday evening that the order “definitely went out” and that some immigrant-heavy Republican districts have seen anger over family members being caught up in worksite-enforcement removals. The source pointed to Kansas as an illustration.
“This type of ping-pong is deeply unfair to ICE, the men and women there tasked with actually deporting these people,” he said. “They watch the news, they read X, they see these mixed signals and it’s affected operations.”

White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis pushed back, saying Trump has been clear that “no one is off the table.”
“DHS continues to deliver results for the American people including the most secure border in history and three straight months of a record number of ICE arrests,” she said, citing more than 3 million deportations thus far.
An ICE report also put arrests-per-month at a record high of 51,000 in August, while a source familiar confirmed that ICE guidance that went out was a “miscommunication” and not from the top.
Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, which advocates for tighter immigration controls, said the situation is uniquely instructive because it comes at a time when factions of the Republican Party are at odds, whether silently or not, over the immigration enforcement issue.
“All of this comes on the backdrop of conflicting goals and messages within the administration on immigration,” he said.
Krikorian said the administration may have contributed to that confusion by repeatedly emphasizing its focus on the “worst of the worst,” even as officials including border czar Tom Homan have said immigrants without criminal records are not exempt from enforcement.
“The administration does need to get its story straight internally so that they can then present a consistent message externally,” Krikorian said.
He argued the larger unresolved issue is worksite enforcement, which he said is critical to encouraging self-deportation but creates political tension between business interests seeking labor and working-class Republicans demanding tighter enforcement.
Republican donors who favor the “loose labor market” that low-wage migrants bring clash with the working-class Republican bloc demanding tighter labor markets and stricter enforcement, Krikorian said.

Krikorian said he had hoped Trump or Mullin would clarify after the Kansas controversy that the administration was not “randomly” cracking down on employers, but conducting worksite enforcement based on intelligence about businesses employing illegal immigrants.
Several Republicans, including Marshall and Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R-Fla., have criticized aspects of the administration’s immigration push ahead of the midterms. Krikorian argued that conflicting signals could also carry political consequences with Trump voters focused on enforcement – citing competing pressures between big-business and the base.
“You don’t tweet out that you’re not doing what voters want you to do,” he said.
Krikorian praised the administration’s border policies but argued interior and worksite enforcement create more complicated political tradeoffs for the Trump coalition.
After the Wire report broke, DHS responded in part “this is false. No one is off the table.”
