加州蒙特雷县Salinas监狱外ICE执法引抗议:10月27日监狱预防性封锁,官员称5人被捕、ICE晚间撤离

10月27日,美国移民与海关执法局(ICE)在加利福尼亚州蒙特雷县 Salinas 市的蒙特雷县监狱外展开执法,约50名抗议者、法律观察员与移民律师聚集在监狱车辆出入口外抗议;蒙特雷县警长办公室当天17时40分宣布监狱预防性封锁、暂停释放与收监,ICE 人员当晚约18时30分撤离。据当地电视台 KSBW 报道,官员确认有5人被 ICE 逮捕。
据 Monterey County Now 报道,现场可见无标识车辆停在监狱车辆出入口外的碎石区,部分联邦执法人员制服上有「ICE」字样。抗议持续数小时,临近结束时约30名抗议者走近联邦人员的车辆,有人向驶离的车辆投掷石块,车辆沿 Constitution Boulevard 方向离开。拉美裔公民联盟(LULAC)第2055分会会长 Chris Barrera 在现场表示:「ICE 在这里不受欢迎。ICE 是来恐吓人的。」
蒙特雷县警长办公室表示,封锁是出于谨慎的安全预防措施,封锁期间无人被释放;律师会见在押人员仍可进入。警长办公室在10月26日的声明中表示,该办公室事先未收到联邦行动的通知,并指出联邦执法机构依自身权限独立行动时无须通知地方执法机构;该办公室同时重申将遵守加州《加州价值法》(SB 54)与《TRUTH 法》关于地方与联邦移民执法互动的限制规定。据报道,县监事 Wendy Root Askew 当天曾就监狱暂停释放的做法与一名 ICE 人员交涉。
据本地报道,10月26日至27日两天里,法律观察员已记录到 ICE 人员在监狱释放口外停留,邻近的 Santa Clara 县与 Santa Cruz 县也有类似活动;团结网络蒙特雷县快速响应组织称,10月27日16时30分左右,一名男子在监狱旁的县卫生诊所外离开时被扣留,该组织并称区域内曾出现多达十余辆 ICE 车辆,包括在 Natividad 医疗中心一带。关于被捕人数,KSBW 引述官员的说法为5人,本地快速响应网络确认的为诊所外1人,两处口径并列如上。
同日15时,加州护士协会与全国护士联合会(NNU)在 Watsonville 举行紧急记者会,谴责 ICE 出现在 Salinas 的 Natividad 医疗中心与 Watsonville 社区医院一带;护士们表示,此前24小时内曾在 Natividad 医疗中心附近看到 ICE 车辆,并至少有一人在该院附近被捕。ICE 尚未公开说明此次行动的具体目标。
ICE Operation Outside Monterey County Jail in Salinas, California Draws Protesters: Jail Locked Down on October 27, Officials Say Five Arrested
On October 27, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents carried out an operation outside the Monterey County Jail in Salinas, Monterey County, California, where about 50 protesters, legal observers and immigration attorneys gathered at the jail's vehicle gate. The Monterey County Sheriff's Office announced a precautionary lockdown of the jail at 5:40 p.m., suspending releases and bookings, and ICE personnel left at about 6:30 p.m. According to local station KSBW, officials confirmed that five people were arrested by ICE.
Monterey County Now reported unmarked vehicles parked on the gravel area outside the jail's sallyport gate, with some federal officers wearing uniforms marked ICE. The protest lasted several hours; toward the end, about 30 protesters moved closer to the federal vehicles and some threw rocks at the vehicles as they drove away toward Constitution Boulevard. Chris Barrera, president of LULAC Council #2055, said at the scene: ICE is not wanted here. ICE is here to intimidate.
The Sheriff's Office said the lockdown was a precautionary safety measure and that no inmates were released while it was in effect; attorneys meeting clients were still allowed inside. In an October 26 statement, the Sheriff's Office said it had not been notified of the federal operation in advance, noting that federal agencies are not required to notify local law enforcement when acting on their own authority, and reiterated its commitment to California's Values Act (SB 54) and the TRUTH Act, which limit local cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. County Supervisor Wendy Root Askew was reported to have questioned an ICE agent at the scene about the decision to pause releases.
Local reports said legal observers had documented ICE agents parked outside the jail's release gate on both October 26 and 27, with similar activity in neighboring Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties. The Solidarity Network Monterey County Rapid Response said one man was detained at about 4:30 p.m. on October 27 while leaving a county health clinic adjacent to the jail, and that up to a dozen ICE vehicles had been seen in the area, including around Natividad Medical Center. The arrest figures differ by source: KSBW, citing officials, reported five arrests, while the local rapid-response network confirmed one detention outside the clinic; both accounts are presented as reported.
At 3 p.m. the same day, the California Nurses Association and National Nurses United held an emergency press conference in Watsonville denouncing the ICE presence around Natividad Medical Center in Salinas and Watsonville Community Hospital; the nurses said ICE vehicles had been seen near Natividad and at least one person had been arrested near the hospital in the previous 24 hours. ICE has not publicly disclosed the targets or objectives of the operation.
