中国籍母亲携两子在洛杉矶县采集指纹时被 ICE 带走:律师称一家遭转送德州后已获法官下令释放

11 月 3 日下午约 2 时,在美国加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县工业市(City of Industry)的一处移民申请支持中心(Application Support Center)外,来自中国的寻求庇护者 Lifeng Guo 带 12 岁和 4 岁的两个儿子按预约前来采集指纹等生物信息,被移民与海关执法局(ICE)人员当场带走。当天是中期选举投票日。
社区守望者拍下的视频显示,一名戴面罩的执法人员牵着 Guo 4 岁儿子的手走向一辆黑色 SUV,小男孩手里还拿着一辆玩具车。
据一家人聘请的律师 Chuangchuang Chen 向 Univision 表示,Guo 以宗教迫害为由申请庇护,案件仍在审理中。一家三口随后被送往德克萨斯州 Dilley 的南德州家庭居住中心关押。律师称,一名联邦法官此前已经下令禁止把这家人转移到加州中区司法管辖范围之外,联邦政府在法庭上承认这次转送是个错误,并表示正在评估让一家人返回加州以及释放他们的可能。
洛杉矶当地社区通讯作者 Memo Torres 11 月 6 日报道,法官已经下令把母子三人从 Dilley 中心释放;报道说,一家人返回加州后,预计将进入强化监督出庭计划(ISAP),并佩戴脚踝监测装置。截至本稿发布时,未见 ICE 就本案作出公开说明。
申请支持中心是移民申请人按预约采集指纹、照片和签名的场所。Dilley 的南德州家庭居住中心是联邦政府关押移民家庭的主要设施之一,近年来多次成为移民家庭关押争议的焦点。
Chinese Mother Taken by ICE With Her Two Sons at a Los Angeles County Biometrics Appointment: Lawyer Says Family Was Sent to Texas and Has Been Ordered Released
On the afternoon of November 3, at around 2 p.m., Lifeng Guo, an asylum seeker from China, arrived with her two sons, aged 12 and 4, for a scheduled biometrics appointment at a U.S. immigration Application Support Center in the City of Industry, in Los Angeles County, California, and was taken into custody on the spot by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. November 3 was Election Day in the midterm elections.
Video recorded by community watchers shows a masked officer leading Guo's 4-year-old son by the hand toward a black SUV, the boy still holding a toy car.
According to the family's lawyer, Chuangchuang Chen, who spoke to Univision, Guo applied for asylum on grounds of religious persecution and her case is still pending. The mother and her two sons were then sent to the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas. The lawyer said a federal judge had already ordered that the family not be transferred outside the Central District of California, and that the federal government acknowledged in court that the transfer was a mistake and was evaluating the family's return to California and their possible release.
Memo Torres, a Los Angeles community reporter, reported on November 6 that a judge had ordered the mother and children released from the Dilley center, and that on returning to California the family was expected to enter the Intensive Supervision Appearance Program (ISAP) and be fitted with ankle monitors. No public statement from ICE on the case had been issued as of publication.
Application Support Centers are facilities where immigration applicants attend scheduled appointments to give fingerprints, photographs and signatures. The South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley is one of the federal government's main facilities for detaining immigrant families and has repeatedly been at the center of controversy over family detention.
