美国国土安全部代理移民局(U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ICE)主任托德·莱昂斯拒绝在加利福尼亚州民主党众议员埃里克·斯沃韦尔的压力下辞职,斯沃韦尔向他发出最后通牒,要求其要么辞职,要么”站在杀手一边”。
周二众议院国土安全委员会听证会上的激烈交锋并非斯沃韦尔首次就移民局大规模驱逐行动与ICE发生冲突。他此前曾与委员会成员、纽约州民主党众议员丹尼尔·戈德曼共同提出《移民局终止法案》(ICE OUT Act),该法案旨在剥夺联邦移民特工的合格豁免权。
在询问接近尾声时,斯沃韦尔告诉莱昂斯,继续领导ICE是一种”选择”,并强调了莱昂斯此前的杰出军事和执法生涯。
“你可以说是’另有高就’的人。我想大多数人都会同意,这不是你唯一能得到的工作。但自从你上任以来,妇女被人揪住头发拖过街道,一名6岁癌症晚期儿童被驱逐出境,而事实证明他是美国公民。”斯沃韦尔声称。

同时竞选加州州长的阿拉米达县议员表示,人们正”穿过他们工作的田地逃离移民局”,而国土安全部高层的”可耻言论”应该让莱昂斯另寻新职。
“你会站在你本应保护的孩子一边,还是站在给我们街道带来恐怖的杀手一边?莱昂斯先生,你会从ICE辞职吗?”斯沃韦尔问道,身后出现了一张儿童的照片。
莱昂斯回答:”不,先生,我不会辞职。”随后他对斯沃韦尔团队制作的照片提出质疑。

“你展示的那个孩子,移民局的工作人员在他父亲抛弃他并逃避执法时照顾了他。”莱昂斯提到了厄瓜多尔公民阿德里安·A.C.阿里亚斯被移民局针对的案例。
阿里亚斯”抛弃”了他5岁的孩子以逃避当局,这导致民主党人和一些媒体声称[国土安全部针对了这个孩子],孩子随后被当局拘留。
国土安全部一名官员在解释情况时表示:”为了孩子的安全,一名移民局官员一直陪着孩子,其他官员则逮捕了科内霍·阿里亚斯。移民局没有针对儿童。”

斯沃韦尔还就莱昂斯在边境安全博览会上的言论施压,该言论称移民执法和驱逐行动应像亚马逊Prime配送服务一样高效。
“莱昂斯先生,亚马逊Prime配送员有多少次朝一位母亲的脸开三枪?”斯沃韦尔问道——似乎在影射[明尼阿波利斯市蕾妮·古德被枪杀事件]。
“零次。”莱昂斯回答。
“那就是零的平方根,没错。”斯沃韦尔回击道,随后莱昂斯反驳称,他的亚马逊言论是在谈到[国土安全部工作中的技术改进]时发表的,包括效率和人工智能领域。
“我确实在最后提到了这一点,但我们面对的是活生生的人,所以我们不能像他们那样做。这是你遗漏的关键部分。”莱昂斯表示。
在斯沃韦尔发言结束时,[纽约州共和党主席安德鲁·加巴里诺]将发言权交给了密西西比州共和党众议员迈克尔·格斯特,后者与莱昂斯进行了较为温和的交流。

California congressman running for governor confronts Acting Director Todd Lyons during House hearing over mass deportation operations

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons refused to resign under pressure from Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., who offered him the ultimatum to do so, or “side with the killers.”
The heated exchange during Tuesday’s House Homeland Security Committee hearing isn’t the first time Swalwell has confronted ICE over its mass deportation operations. He previously co-authored the “ICE OUT Act” with fellow committee member Rep. Daniel Goldman, D-N.Y., which would strip qualified immunity from federal immigration agents.
Near the close of his questioning, Swalwell told Lyons that continuing to lead ICE is a “choice” and highlighted his preceding decorated military and law enforcement career.
“You are what I would call ‘otherwise employable’. I think most people would agree this is not the only job that you can get. But since you’ve been on this job, women have been dragged by their hair through streets. A 6-year-old child battling stage-four cancer [has been deported]. And it turns out he was a U.S. citizen,” Swalwell claimed.

The Alameda lawmaker, who is also running for governor, said people are fleeing ICE “through the fields where they work” and that “disgraceful” statements from DHS brass should convince Lyons to find a new job.
“Will you stand with the kids who you’re supposed to protect, or will you side with the killers bringing terror to our streets? Mr. Lyons, will you resign from ICE?” Swalwell asked, as a poster of a child appeared behind him.
Lyons replied, “No sir, I won’t,” and then took issue with the poster Swalwell’s staff had produced.

That child that you’re showing right there, the men and women of ICE took care of him when his father abandoned him and ran from law enforcement,” Lyons said, referencing the case of Adrian A.C. Arias, an Ecuadorian national targeted by ICE.
Arias “abandoned” his 5-year-old child to flee authorities, leading Democrats and some in the press to claim that [DHS had targeted the child], who went into their custody.
“For the child’s safety, one of our ICE officers remained with the child while the other officers apprehended Conejo Arias,” a DHS official said of the situation. “ICE did not target a child.”

Swalwell also pressed Lyons on comments made at a Border Security Expo suggesting immigration enforcement and deportation operations be as efficient as Amazon Prime delivery.
“Mr. Lyons how many times has Amazon Prime shot a mom three times in the face?” Swalwell asked — appearing to reference the [shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis].
“None,” Lyons said.
“It’s the square root of zero, that’s right,” Swalwell shot back, before Lyons countered that his Amazon comment had come in the context of remarks made on [improving the technology] around DHS’s work, including efficiency and artificial intelligence areas.
“I did say at the end of it, but we deal with human beings, so we can’t be like them. That’s the key part that you’re leaving out,” Lyons said.
At the end of Swalwell’s remarks, [Chairman Andrew Garbarino, R-N.Y.], ceded the floor to Rep. Michael Guest, R-Miss., who offered a friendlier exchange with Lyons.
