移民海关执法局逮捕风波暴露特朗普与马克韦恩·马林之间的分歧


2026-09-30T20:09:04.400Z / 美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)

当地周末,移民海关执法局(ICE)一场内部高层会议的消息被泄露给媒体,一些特朗普政府官员认为该机构计划将无证移民逮捕范围限定在有犯罪记录的人群内。

外界 perceived 对政府强硬遣返所有非法入境者立场的软化,激怒了总统唐纳德·特朗普。他随即出面澄清——在一场电话中对福克斯新闻一名知名记者表示,移民海关执法局将继续逮捕所有非法入境者,无论其是否有犯罪记录。

据一位知情人士和一位接近白宫的消息人士透露,特朗普在幕后也向国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林表达了愤怒。

尽管负责监管移民海关执法局的国土安全部否认曾发布过此类指令,但这一事件暴露了白宫与负责执行特朗普大规模遣返行动的官员之间持续存在的分歧。此时距离中期选举仅剩数周,一些共和党人已公开和私下对政府的拘留对象表示不安。

中期选举前夕,移民问题仍是白宫的核心政治议题,政府官员对任何可能被视为削弱总统大规模遣返承诺立场的政策调整都极为敏感。

今年夏初,特朗普因得克萨斯州和缅因州发生致命枪击事件后,移民海关执法局暂停多数车辆拦截行动一事大发雷霆。这项暂停决定最终被特朗普推翻,但随即遭到其政治基础的强烈反对,他们认为这是政府在移民打击行动上态度软化的信号。

马林曾多次表示,任何非法入境者都可能被驱逐。但消息人士告诉CNN,他私下支持放弃官员们所谓的“附带逮捕”——即逮捕可能在行动现场附近或与执法部门监控对象有关联的人员。

据三位听取了此次会议简报的消息人士透露,周末会议上向部分移民海关执法局探员口头传达的指导方针似乎指示他们改变“附带逮捕”的做法,转而专注于抓捕罪犯,这引发了探员们的困惑。

马林是来自俄克拉荷马州的前共和党参议员,今年6月特朗普解雇前任部长克里斯蒂·诺姆后,他接任国土安全部部长一职。

尽管消息人士坚称没有迹象表明马林有被解职的风险,但这一事件重新引发了国土安全部官员和接近白宫的消息人士的担忧,即马林并未与总统保持一致。

“在移民问题上,马林显然与特朗普总统和共和党基础阵营步调不一致,”其中一位消息人士说道。

在给CNN的一份声明中,国土安全部发言人表示:“我们所有人都致力于完成总统遣返非法外国人的任务,目标完全一致。任何持相反说法的人都只是企图制造分裂,营造混乱的假象。”

该发言人强调“没有人能免于被追责”,并补充道,“任何在我国非法入境者都将被逮捕并遣返。”

白宫发言人劳伦·比斯在一份声明中表示,马林“帮助打造了史上最安全的边境,并打破了移民海关执法局的逮捕纪录”。

“特朗普总统和马林部长将继续落实美国民众投票支持的议程,”她补充道。

政府的逮捕策略以及越来越多地逮捕无犯罪记录无证移民的做法,遭到了一些共和党人的批评,其中最突出的是代表西班牙裔占比极高选区的佛罗里达州众议员玛丽亚·埃尔维拉·萨拉查。在中期选举前的一则竞选广告中,她与总统立场决裂。

在她的广告中,萨拉查援引了她所称的数据,显示7月份移民海关执法局拘留的人员中有50%“没有犯罪记录”。

堪萨斯州西南部移民海关执法局行动升级引发农业行业担忧一事,也促使共和党参议员罗杰·马歇尔做出回应。他上周在一份声明中表示,当地执法部门“未收到提前通知,也未达到我们对移民海关执法局执法和遣返行动所期望的合作程度”。

“因此,当地社区和企业遭遇了大规模秩序混乱,”他说道,并补充称他已向国土安全部表达了担忧。

今年夏天以来,移民海关执法局加大了移民逮捕力度。8月,移民海关执法局拘留了约5.1万人,创下特朗普政府时期单月逮捕人数新高。此前的最高纪录仅在一个月前的7月,当时该机构拘留了超过4.6万人。

自特朗普政府上台以来,移民海关执法局一直面临白宫的巨大压力,要求其每日逮捕数百人,并逐步扩大逮捕资格范围,不再局限于对公共安全或国家安全构成威胁的人员。

近几周来,马林因在移民执法方面不够强硬而遭到MAGA阵营部分人士的反对,他曾为政府的打击行动强力辩护,并发布了遣返航班的照片。

但多位消息人士告诉CNN,马林很难适应自己的角色。CNN此前曾报道,马林对在白宫的严密监督下开展工作感到沮丧。

“归根结底,马林不再是核心决策层官员——他只是总统的一名幕僚,”一位特朗普顾问告诉CNN。“和之前很多人一样,他很难接受这一点。”

马林提名的移民海关执法局局长人选兰斯·施罗耶——一位前俄克拉荷马州州警——也因提名在参议院受阻,被白宫突然撤回。马林是在其首位提名人选与部分白宫官员产生摩擦后选择施罗耶的。

“我们现在仍有一名代理局长,移民海关执法局的使命不会改变。兰斯是个非常优秀的人,”马林本月早些时候在福克斯新闻的采访中说道。“事实是,总统有权挑选自己的团队,我支持总统这么做。白宫决定走另一条路。”

Whiplash over ICE arrests exposes disconnect between Trump and Markwayne Mullin

2026-09-30T20:09:04.400Z / CNN

When word of an internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement leadership call over the weekend leaked to media outlets, some Trump administration officials came to believe the agency planned to limit arrests of undocumented immigrants to those with criminal histories.

The perceived softening of the administration’s hardline stance to deport anyone in the country illegally set off President Donald Trump, who immediately sought to clear the record — telling a well-known correspondent at Fox News in a phone call that ICE would continue to arrest anyone in the country illegally, regardless of criminal history.

Behind the scenes, Trump also directed his anger toward Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, according to a source familiar with the incident and a source close to the White House.

While DHS, which oversees ICE, denies that any such directive was issued, the episode exposed the ongoing disconnect between the White House and the officials charged with carrying out Trump’s mass deportation campaign. And it comes weeks away from the midterm elections, as some Republicans have publicly and privately expressed unease over who the administration is taking into custody.

Immigration remains a key political issue for the White House ahead of the midterm elections, and administration officials have been sensitive to any potential changes in operations that appear to weaken the president’s approach to his mass deportation pledge.

Earlier this summer, Trump was furious over a pause on most vehicle stops conducted by ICE following fatal shootings in Texas and Maine. The decision to pause those stops, which Trump ultimately overturned, immediately received blowback from his political base, who believed it was a sign of the administration going soft on its immigration crackdown.

Mullin has repeatedly said that anyone in the country illegally may be eligible for removal. But the sources told CNN that he privately supports the shift away from what officials call “collateral arrests,” meaning people who may be in the vicinity of an operation or with a person on law enforcement’s radar.

The guidance verbally communicated on the weekend call with some ICE agents appeared to direct them to take a different approach to “collateral arrests” and instead focus on criminals, fueling confusion among the agents, according to three sources briefed on the call.

Mullin, a former GOP US senator from Oklahoma, took the helm of DHS just six months ago when Trump fired his predecessor, Kristi Noem.

While sources insisted there’s no indication that Mullin is at risk of losing his job, that episode reignited concerns among Homeland Security officials and sources close to the White House that Mullin isn’t in lockstep with the president.

“Mullin is definitely out of step with President Trump and the base on immigration,” one of the sources said.

In a statement to CNN, a Homeland Security spokesperson said: “We are all focused on delivering on the President’s mission to deport illegal aliens and are all the same page. Anyone who says otherwise is just trying to sow division and create an illusion of chaos.”

The spokesperson maintained that “no one is off the table,” adding that, “anyone in our country illegally will be arrested and deported.”

White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis said in a statement that Mullin “has helped deliver the most secure border in history and shattered ICE arrest records.”

“President Trump and Secretary Mullin will continue to carry out the agenda the American people voted for,” she added.

The administration’s arrest tactics and decision to increasingly arrest undocumented immigrants without criminal records has fueled criticism among some Republicans, most notably Florida Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, who represents a heavily Hispanic district. She broke with the president in a recent campaign ad ahead of the midterms.

In her ad, Salazar pointed to statistics she said show that 50% of the people detained by ICE in July “had no criminal record.”

An uptick in ICE activity in southwest Kansas that drew concerns among the agricultural industry also prompted a response from Republican Sen. Roger Marshall, who said in a statement last week that local law enforcement had not been “given advance notice or the level of cooperation we would expect from ICE’s enforcement and removal operations.”

“As a result, there have been mass disruptions to local communities and businesses,” he said, adding that he shared his concerns with DHS.

ICE picked up its immigration arrests over the summer. In August, ICE took around 51,000 people into custody, setting a new monthly high under the Trump administration. The previous high had been set just one month prior when the agency took more than 46,000 people into custody in July.

Since the start of the Trump administration, ICE has been under immense pressure from the White House to arrest hundreds of people daily and over time, cast a wider net of who’s eligible for arrest, beyond those who are public safety or national security threats.

In recent weeks, Mullin, who’s faced backlash from corners of the MAGA base for not being strong enough on immigration enforcement, has forcefully defended the administration’s crackdown, posting photos of deportation flights.

But multiple sources have told CNN that Mullin has had a hard time transitioning to his role. CNN previously reported that Mullin had expressed frustration with working under the close watch of the White House.

“Ultimately, Mullin is no longer a principal — he’s a staffer to the president,” one Trump adviser told CNN. “He’s had a hard time coming to terms with that, like many others before him.”

Mullin also saw his pick for director of ICE Lance Schroyer, a former Oklahoma state trooper, abruptly pulled by the White House after his nomination stalled in the Senate. Mullin had chosen Schroyer after his first proposed pick for the role caused friction with some White House officials.

“We still have an acting director there and ICE’s mission doesn’t change. Lance is a very good man,” Mullin said in a Fox interview earlier this month. “The truth is the president gets to pick his team, and I support the president doing this. The White House decided to go a different way.”
