- 官员因明尼苏达州 killings 和移民执法面临审查
- 民主党人批评特朗普激进移民政策并呼吁诺姆辞职
- 移民和海关执法局（ICE）在公众反对声中为执法辩护，移民机构获得更多资金
华盛顿，2月10日（路透社） – 美国国会民主党人周二就共和党总统唐纳德·特朗普的镇压行动向其顶级移民官员施压，这是自两名美国公民在明尼苏达州被杀害、对特朗普大规模驱逐行动的反对声日益高涨以来的首次此类听证会。
这些官员是负责移民执法和合法移民的三个机构的最高级别官员，在明尼阿波利斯的蕾妮·古德（Renee Good）和亚历克斯·普雷蒂（Alex Pretti）遇害后，他们在委员会中遭到民主党人的反复批评。

特朗普1月在明尼阿波利斯升级了其激进的移民执法行动，导致戴面具的移民官员与反对大规模移民扫荡的居民发生冲突。这些扫荡行动已逮捕了许多无犯罪记录的人，包括家庭和儿童。特朗普的高级官员在古德和普雷蒂被联邦移民官员杀害后迅速将他们描述为“国内恐怖分子”和袭击者，但视频证据与此说法相矛盾。
这起杀人事件的余波成为民主党人在数月来移民执法力度不断加大后的转折点，导致他们在1月搁置了美国国土安全部的资金，同意了一项周五到期的短期资金延期。
民主党人表示，ICE必须改革，并要求他们摘下口罩、佩戴随身摄像机，并优先执法以关注刑事犯罪分子。
美国众议院国土安全委员会主席、共和党人安德鲁·加巴里诺（Andrew Garbarino）在开场陈述中呼吁对明尼苏达州两名美国公民的被杀事件进行全面调查，这与指责古德和普雷蒂的特朗普官员的立场截然不同。
“必须进行全面公正的调查，”代表纽约长岛某选区的加巴里诺说。“我期望在调查进行期间，每位证人都能向委员会充分通报情况……在调查进行期间，官员和民选领导人不能仓促下结论。”
委员会的最高民主党人本尼·汤普森（Bennie Thompson）严厉批评了特朗普政府在城市中的激进执法，并重申了要求国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆（Kristi Noem）辞职的呼吁。
两党在“废除ICE”呼吁上的冲突
周二作证的有美国移民和海关执法局代理局长托德·莱昂斯（Todd Lyons）、美国海关和边境保护局局长罗德尼·斯科特（Rodney Scott）以及美国公民及移民服务局局长乔·埃洛（Joe Edlow）。
这三位特朗普政府官员在开场陈述中为总统的移民议程辩护，强调了对ICE官员的威胁、特朗普政府下边境安全的加强以及对合法移民更严格的审查。
莱昂斯表示，尽管面临公众反对和袭击风险，ICE官员将继续执行特朗普的驱逐行动。
“尽管存在这些危险，我们的官员仍以坚定的决心执行任务。我们才刚刚开始，”他说。“ICE仍然致力于这一基本原则：非法进入我国的人必须被追究责任。”
2025年由共和党控制的国会通过的一项支出法案将1700亿美元历史性地投入移民执法机构，截至2029年9月，这比ICE和边境巡逻队现有的约190亿美元年度预算大幅增加。
一些民主党人支持“废除ICE”的呼声，而共和党人则表示这将是鲁莽的，并强调在民主党前总统乔·拜登任内非法移民水平很高。
“似乎国会一侧支持开放边境并希望废除ICE，”德克萨斯州共和党议员奥古斯特·普夫卢格（August Pfluger）说。“我希望这一点能被证明是错误的，而国会另一侧希望执行现行法律。”
美国公民卷入移民镇压行动
代表加利福尼亚州阿纳海姆所在选区的民主党众议员路易斯·科雷亚（Lou Correa）向莱昂斯询问ICE是否维护美国公民数据库。
科雷亚援引了缅因州一名戴面具的联邦移民官员的视频，该官员称他会把对手的名字放入一个“漂亮的小数据库”，而这个人现在“被视为国内恐怖分子”。路透社周二援引两名ICE官员的话报道称，ICE官员数月来一直在内部数据库中追踪抗议者的名字。
莱昂斯否认其机构在数据库中追踪反ICE抗议者。
“我可以向你保证，没有任何数据库在追踪美国公民，”他说。
国土安全部回应路透社称，它不维护美国“国内恐怖分子”数据库，但会追踪威胁。
罗德岛州民主党众议员塞思·马加齐纳（Seth Magaziner）播放了一段边境特工去年近距离向芝加哥一名父亲和他1岁的女儿的汽车窗口喷洒化学刺激物的视频。
“这是一个美国公民家庭，他们当时正在芝加哥的一家山姆会员店购物，”马加齐纳对美国最高边境官员斯科特说。“将胡椒喷雾对准移动车辆的窗户是否是正确的程序？”
“我没有所有细节；这是正在进行的调查，”斯科特说。“但回答你的问题，我们尽量避免这种情况……不，这不是正确的程序。”
尽管ICE内部指南要求官员停止与抗议者互动，但此类遭遇仍在继续，包括美国公民因驾车跟随官员而被捕并被指控。

Democrats press Trump officials on immigration enforcement tactics in tense hearing
February 10, 2026 3:22 PM UTC / Reuters / By Ted Hesson
- Summary
- Officials face scrutiny over Minnesota killings and immigration enforcement
- Democrats criticize Trump’s aggressive immigration policies and call for Noem’s resignation
- ICE defends enforcement amid public opposition and increased funding for immigration agencies
WASHINGTON, Feb 10 (Reuters) – Democrats in the U.S. Congress pressed President Donald Trump’s top immigration officials on Tuesday over the Republican president’s crackdown, the first such hearing since two U.S. citizens were killed in Minnesota amid mounting opposition to Trump’s mass deportation push.
The officials – the highest-ranking at three agencies overseeing immigration enforcement and legal immigration – faced repeated criticism from Democrats on the committee after the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

Trump escalated his aggressive immigration enforcement push in Minneapolis in January, leading to clashes between masked immigration officers and residents opposed to broad immigration sweeps that have picked up many people with no criminal record, including families and children. Top Trump officials swiftly portrayed Good and Pretti as “domestic terrorists” and aggressors after they were killed by federal immigration officers, but video evidence contradicted those statements.
The fallout over the killing became a tipping point for Democrats after months of intensifying immigration enforcement and led them to hold up funding for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in January, agreeing to a short-term funding extension that expires on Friday.

Democrats say ICE must be reformed and have demanded they remove masks, wear body cameras and prioritize enforcement to focus on criminal offenders.
U.S. House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee Chairman Andrew Garbarino, a Republican, called for a full investigation into the killings of the two U.S. citizens in Minnesota in opening remarks, a departure from Trump officials who blamed Good and Pretti.
“There must be a complete and impartial investigation,” said Garbarino, who represents a district on Long Island in New York. “I expect each of our witnesses to keep this committee fully informed as the investigations run their course … While these investigations are ongoing, officials and elected leaders cannot rush to judgment.”
The top Democrat on the committee, Bennie Thompson, sharply criticized the Trump administration’s aggressive enforcement in U.S. cities and reiterated a call for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to resign.
PARTISAN CLASHES OVER ‘ABOLISH ICE’ CALLS
Testifying on Tuesday were Todd Lyons, acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Rodney Scott, commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Joe Edlow, director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
The three Trump officials in opening remarks defended the president’s immigration agenda, highlighting threats to ICE officers, increased border security under Trump, and more intense vetting of legal immigrants.
Lyons said ICE officers would continue implementing Trump’s deportation push even as officers faced the risk of assault amid public opposition.
“Despite these perils, our officers continue to execute their mission with unwavering resolve. And we are only getting started,” he said. “ICE remains committed to the fundamental principle that those who illegally enter our country must be held accountable.”
A spending package passed by the Republican-controlled Congress in 2025 devoted a historic $170 billion to immigration enforcement agencies through September 2029, a huge surge of funding over ICE and Border Patrol’s existing annual budgets of about $19 billion.
Some Democrats embraced calls to “Abolish ICE,” while Republicans said that would be reckless and stressed the high levels of illegal immigration under Democratic former President Joe Biden.
“It seems like one side of the aisle is in favor of open borders and wants to abolish ICE,” said Republican U.S. Representative August Pfluger of Texas. “I hope that that can be proven wrong, and the other side of the aisle wants to enforce the laws that are on the books.”
IMMIGRATION CRACKDOWN SWEEPS IN U.S. CITIZENS
Democratic U.S. Representative Lou Correa, who represents a district that includes Anaheim, California, pressed Lyons on whether ICE maintained a database on U.S. citizens.
Correa cited a video of a masked federal immigration officer in Maine saying he would put an opponent’s name in a “nice little database” and that the person was now “considered a domestic terrorist.” Reuters reported on Tuesday that ICE officers have been tracking the names of protesters in an internal database for several months, citing two ICE officials.
Lyons denied his agency was tracking anti-ICE protesters in a database.
“I can assure you there is no database that is tracking U.S. citizens,” he said.
DHS said in response to Reuters that it does not maintain a database of U.S. “domestic terrorists,” but does track threats.
Seth Magaziner, a Democratic U.S. representative from Rhode Island, played a video clip of a border agent who sprayed a chemical irritant at a Chicago father and his 1-year-old daughter at close range in their car last year.
“This is a family of United States citizens who were out to get groceries at a Sam’s Club in Chicago,” Magaziner said to Scott, the nation’s top border official. “Is it proper procedure to aim pepper spray into the window of a moving vehicle?”
“I don’t have all the details on this; it’s an ongoing investigation,” Scott said. “But to answer your question, we try to avoid that … No, it is not proper procedure.”
Despite internal ICE guidance calling for officers to stop engaging with protesters, the encounters have continued, including U.S. citizens arrested and charged after following officers in their cars.
