- 法官阻止明尼苏达州难民被捕
- “PARRIS行动”旨在重新审查难民案件，重点针对明尼苏达州
- 波士顿新诉讼在全国范围内挑战该政策
2月27日（路透社）- 联邦法官周五表示，他不会允许唐纳德·特朗普总统的政府以”恐怖化”明尼苏达州5600名难民的方式，依据一项将难民”美国梦变为反乌托邦噩梦”的新政策，逮捕并拘留他们。
明尼阿波利斯市美国地区法官约翰·特恩海姆（John Tunheim）在发布初步禁令时作出上述表示，该禁令扩大了此前的临时命令，阻止政府以难民尚未获得合法永久居留权（绿卡）为由逮捕或拘留他们。
“本法院不会允许联邦当局利用新的、错误的法律解释来恐吓那些移民到这个国家、并得到会被欢迎且能在远离所逃离的迫害之地和平生活的承诺的难民。” 特恩海姆写道。
特朗普政府试图依据名为”PARRIS行动”（Operation PARRIS）的政策实施上述行为，该行动于1月宣布，美国国土安全部（DHS）称其为”一项全面举措”，旨在重新审查数千起难民案件。
国土安全部当时表示，该行动的初步重点是明尼苏达州约5600名尚未获得绿卡的难民，明尼苏达州近期出现移民执法行动激增和福利欺诈丑闻。
国土安全部未回应置评请求。
来自非洲、亚洲和拉丁美洲的难民提起集体诉讼，辩称特朗普政府错误宣称移民法赋予美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）权力，可逮捕任何在美国合法居留满一年后仍未获得绿卡的难民。
特恩海姆（克林顿民主党总统任命）同意上述观点，称政府政策缺乏国会授权，引发宪法层面担忧，并违背了1980年《难民法案》的承诺——即难民可以”在安全中获得新开始的机会”。
他指出，法律规定难民需等待一年才能获得绿卡，但政府却声称有权在合法入境第366天就逮捕他们。
法官还在明尼苏达州难民群体向马萨诸塞州联邦法院提起类似但范围更广的诉讼、寻求在全国范围内挑战该政策执行后不久作出上述裁决。
国际难民援助项目（International Refugee Assistance Project）代表明尼苏达州原告的律师金伯利·格拉诺（Kimberly Grano）在声明中赞扬该裁决，称”难民现在可以毫无恐惧地生活，不必担心自己的政府会把他们从街上抓走并关押在远离亲人的地方。”

Feb 27 (Reuters) – A federal judge on Friday said he would not allow President Donald Trump’s administration to “terrorize” Minnesota’s 5,600 refugees by arresting and detaining them under a new policy that “turns the refugees’ American Dream into a dystopian nightmare.”
U.S. District Judge John Tunheim in Minneapolis made that statement as he issued a preliminary injunction that extended an earlier, temporary order that blocked the administration from arresting or detaining refugees on the basis that they had yet to obtain lawful permanent resident status, or green cards.

The administration had sought to do so under a policy adopted as part of “Operation PARRIS,” a program announced in January that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security billed as “a sweeping initiative” to reexamine thousands of refugee cases.
DHS at the time said the initial focus of the initiative would be the roughly 5,600 refugees who had yet to be given green cards in Minnesota, the site of a recent immigration enforcement surge operation and benefits fraud scandal.
DHS did not respond to a request for comment.
Refugees from Africa, Asia and Latin America sued in a class-action lawsuit, arguing Trump’s administration was wrongly asserting that immigration law gave U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement the power to arrest any refugee who had not been granted a green card after a year in the United States.
Tunheim, who was appointed by Democratic President Bill Clinton, agreed, saying the administration’s policy lacked authorization from Congress, raised constitutional concerns and upended the promise of the Refugee Act of 1980 that refugees could “be given a chance at a new beginning in safety.”
He noted that by law, the refugees could not obtain green cards until a year had passed. Yet he said the administration was claiming the power to arrest them upon the 366th day of being lawfully admitted.
“The Court will not allow federal authorities to use a new and erroneous statutory interpretation to terrorize refugees who immigrated to this country under the promise that they would be welcomed and allowed to live in peace, far from the persecution they fled,” Tunheim wrote.
He ruled shortly after a group of refugees filed a similar but broader lawsuit in federal court in Massachusetts seeking to challenge the policy’s enforcement nationwide.
Kimberly Grano, a lawyer for the Minnesota plaintiffs at the International Refugee Assistance Project, in a statement hailed the ruling, saying the “refugees can now live their lives without fear that their own government will snatch them off the street and imprison them far from their loved ones.”
