2月12日（路透社）- 美国参议院某委员会的共和党与民主党高层周四在听证会上播放了美国公民亚历克斯·普雷蒂（Alex Pretti）被枪击前的视频，严厉质问武力使用是否恰当。
该委员会共和党主席、美国参议员兰德·保罗（Rand Paul）表示，视频清晰显示1月份边境人员近距离向普雷蒂喷洒胡椒喷雾时，普雷蒂正在后退，这一事件引发了全国对特朗普政府移民策略的审视。

“他一直在后退，试图逃离，却被喷向面部，”保罗称，认为警员使用胡椒喷雾是”升级行为”。
普雷蒂”反抗”：CBP专员回应
作为特朗普政府官员出庭作证的美国海关与边境保护局专员罗德尼·斯科特表示，需全面调查才能确定武力使用是否恰当。
“我看到的是一名不配合的对象，他无视所有指引，持续反抗，”斯科特说。
在随后的问答中，斯科特与美国移民与海关执法局代理局长托德·莱昂斯一致认为，向后退的人喷洒胡椒喷雾不符合程序。

此次听证会是本周第二次，斯科特、莱昂斯和美国公民及移民服务局局长约瑟夫·埃洛面临国会委员会就特朗普激进移民打击行动的审视。
特朗普政府官员为其机构行动辩护，并表示普雷蒂和蕾妮·古德（Renee Good）的致命枪击事件需要调查，这与国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆（Kristi Noem）等特朗普官员迅速将古德和普雷蒂定性为”国内恐怖分子”的说法截然不同。
保罗称这种急于下定论的做法损害了政府公信力。
“人们不相信会有公正的调查，”他说。
当天早些时候，白宫边境事务负责人汤姆·霍曼（Tom Homan）表示，鉴于批评声浪加剧，政府将减少明尼苏达州的部署。路透社/益普索民调显示，1月份公众对特朗普移民议程的支持率降至其总统任期内最低点。
来自肯塔基州的自由党人保罗批评移民官员在无明确威胁情况下拔枪。
“我认为他们没有达到警察的训练标准，”保罗说，”坦率地说，警察训练更到位。”
移民执法的紧张交锋
密歇根州民主党参议员埃莉萨·斯洛特金（Elissa Slotkin）质问莱昂斯，ICE官员是否有权部署到美国投票站，引用特朗普近期呼吁”全国化”选举的言论。
“我们没有理由部署到投票设施，”莱昂斯回应。
周四早些时候，参议院国土安全与政府事务委员会听取了明尼苏达州官员的证词，包括总检察长基思·埃利森（Keith Ellison）。
埃利森呼吁国会要求联邦调查局（FBI）对古德和普雷蒂被杀事件展开全面调查，并要求ICE”全面透明地说明从明尼苏达州逮捕、拘留、逮捕和驱逐的所有人”。
明尼苏达州众议院共和党领袖哈里·尼斯卡（Harry Niska）批评埃利森发布法律意见，使州当局更难配合联邦移民执法。
“在监狱的安全环境中逮捕嫌疑人既安全又高效，”尼斯卡说，”强行在家庭或工作场所进行逮捕……会大幅增加警员在公共场合的风险。”
明尼苏达州惩教局局长保罗·施内尔（Paul Schnell）表示，该局与ICE”广泛合作”，但特朗普政府的增兵行动已使这种协作关系紧张。

US senators sharply question Trump officials about Pretti shooting, use of force

- Top Republican and Democrat play Pretti shooting video for Trump officials
- Trump officials defend enforcement actions amid scrutiny
- Public support for Trump’s immigration agenda has declined
Feb 12 (Reuters) – The top Republican and Democrat on a U.S. Senate committee played video showing the lead-up to the shooting of U.S. citizen Alex Pretti to Trump immigration officials at a hearing on Thursday, sharply questioning whether the use of force was appropriate.
The committee’s Republican chairman, U.S. Senator Rand Paul, said the video clearly showed Pretti was backing away when a border officer doused him with pepper spray at close range during the January encounter, which sparked nationwide scrutiny of Trump administration immigration tactics.

“He is retreating at every moment. He’s trying to get away, and he’s being sprayed in the face,” Paul said, adding that the officer’s use of pepper spray was “escalatory.”
PRETTI ‘FIGHTING BACK’: CBP COMMISSIONER
U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott, one of the Trump officials testifying, said a full investigation would be needed to determine whether the use of force was appropriate.
“What I’m seeing is a subject that’s also not compliant. He’s not following any guidance. He’s fighting back nonstop,” Scott said.
In a later exchange, Scott and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Acting Director Todd Lyons agreed that spraying someone who is backing away was not proper procedure.

The hearing marked the second time this week that Scott, Lyons and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Joe Edlow faced scrutiny from a congressional committee over Trump’s aggressive immigration crackdown.
The Trump officials defended their agencies’ actions and said the fatal shootings of Pretti and Renee Good would need to be investigated, a departure from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and other Trump officials who quickly cast Good and Pretti as “domestic terrorists.”
Paul said the rush to judgment hurt the administration’s credibility.
“People aren’t believing there’s going to be an honest investigation,” he said.
Earlier in the day, White House border czar Tom Homan said the administration would draw down its presence in Minnesota after a surge that has led to mounting criticism. Public support for Trump’s immigration agenda fell to the lowest point in his presidency in January, according to Reuters/Ipsos polls.
Paul, a libertarian from Kentucky, criticized immigration officers drawing weapons in situations where there was no clear threat.
“I don’t think they’re living up to the same standard of the police,” Paul said. “I think the police, frankly, are better trained.”
TENSE EXCHANGES OVER IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT
Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan questioned Lyons about whether ICE officers had the authority to be deployed to U.S. polling stations, referencing a recent Trump call to “nationalize” elections.
“There’s no reason for us to deploy to a polling facility,” Lyons said.
Earlier on Thursday, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee heard from Minnesota officials, including Attorney General Keith Ellison.
Ellison called on Congress to require the FBI to conduct a full investigation into the Good and Pretti killings and for ICE to “provide a full, transparent accounting of everyone stopped, detained, arrested and deported from Minnesota.”
Harry Niska, the top Republican in the Minnesota State House of Representatives, criticized Ellison for issuing legal opinions that made it harder for state authorities to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement.
“Arresting a suspect in the secure environment of a jail is safe and efficient,” Niska said. “Forcing that arrest to happen in a home or a workplace … drastically increases the risk to officers in the public.”
Paul Schnell, commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Corrections, said there has been “wide-scale cooperation” with ICE but that the Trump administration surge had strained that collaboration.
