芝加哥华人移民11月6日在 Bridgeport 洗车时遭移民执法逮捕 社区快速反应队展开援助

伊利诺伊州库克县芝加哥市 Bridgeport 社区11月6日中午发生一起移民执法逮捕事件,一名来自中国的庇护申请者正在路边洗车时被执法人员带走,地点位于第30街与 Union Avenue 交界处。
据华埠与 Bridgeport 快速反应队核实,当天该社区至少发生三起逮捕,包括这名华人、一名拉丁裔移民和另一名亚裔人士。今年9月8日,特朗普政府宣布针对芝加哥地区的「中途闪电战」行动,国土安全部称截至10月底已在芝加哥逮捕约3000人。
由100多名居民组成的华埠与 Bridgeport 快速反应队已投入行动,每周都有新人加入。由伊利诺伊州移民与难民权利联盟牵头的家庭支持网络热线已开通中文服务,号码为1-855-435-7693。社区组织表示,许多华人家庭正经历分离与无助,快速反应队将继续提供法律转介与紧急援助。
Chinese Asylum Seeker Arrested While Washing His Car in Chicago's Bridgeport on Nov. 6; Rapid Response Team Mobilizes
CHICAGO, Ill. — An asylum seeker from China was arrested by immigration officers at noon on November 6 in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood, Cook County, Illinois, while washing his car by the roadside at 30th Street and Union Avenue.
The Chinatown and Bridgeport Rapid Response Team verified at least three arrests in the neighborhood that day, including the Chinese man, a Latino immigrant and another Asian individual. The Trump administration announced Operation Midway Blitz targeting the Chicago area on September 8, and the Department of Homeland Security says about 3,000 people had been arrested in Chicago by the end of October.
A rapid response team of more than 100 residents is now active, with new volunteers joining every week. The Family Support Network hotline, led by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, now offers Chinese-language service at 1-855-435-7693. Community groups say many Chinese families are experiencing separation and helplessness, and the team will continue providing legal referrals and emergency assistance.
