@Gabby Del Valle : Mahmoud Khalil是一位持有绿卡的巴勒斯坦活动家,他在哥伦比亚大学参与了亲巴勒斯坦的抗议活动。尽管他持有绿卡,ICE仍然逮捕了他,并声称他的绿卡已被吊销,但这并非ICE的权力范围。Khalil的律师已提起人身保护令,要求释放他。白宫指控Khalil对美国的国家安全和外交政策构成威胁,但未提供任何证据。Khalil被选中可能是因为他更容易成为目标,并且亲以色列活动家向国会议员举报了他。 @Leslie : 特朗普政府的驱逐行动并未达到其承诺的规模,而是采用‘震慑’策略,通过高调逮捕来展示其兑现承诺的决心。尽管特朗普承诺大规模驱逐,但由于驱逐程序的复杂性和官僚性,实际的驱逐人数远低于预期。 @Colleen Putzel-Kavanaugh : 自特朗普上任以来,ICE的拘留人数有所增加,并且更多的人来自ICE的内部逮捕,而非边境逮捕。特朗普政府取消了限制ICE在敏感场所(如学校)进行逮捕的政策,这造成了寒蝉效应。政府正试图通过动用其他政府部门和州执法机构来增加拘留和驱逐的资源,以实现其大规模驱逐的目标。

Shownotes Transcript

The Trump administration has fallen short of its promise to deport millions. The White House now seems focused on attention-grabbing arrests, including that of a Palestinian activist and leader of the Columbia student protests.

This episode was produced by Avishay Artsy and Gabrielle Berbey, edited by Amina Al-Sadi, fact-checked by Laura Bullard and Amanda Lewellyn, engineered by Patrick Boyd and Andrea Kristinsdottir, and hosted by Noel King.
