2月18日（路透社）- 一名联邦法官周三推翻了一个行政委员会的决定，该委员会支持特朗普政府在移民打击行动中逮捕数千人并将其强制拘留、剥夺保释机会的政策。
加州河滨市美国联邦地区法官桑夏·赛克斯在发现政府未能遵守她此前发布的裁定该基本政策非法的命令后，撤销了移民上诉委员会的决定。

赛克斯由前民主党总统乔·拜登任命，她称政府的行为”无耻”，并指责其在她裁定后仍拒绝举行保释听证会，试图”继续其非法行动的运动”。
“被诉方远远越界，违反了宪法行为准则，”赛克斯写道。
美国国土安全部和监督该委员会的美国司法部未立即回应置评请求。
根据联邦移民法，”申请进入美国的人”在移民法庭审理案件期间必须被强制拘留，且无权申请保释听证。

与长期以来对法律的解释相悖，国土安全部去年在唐纳德·特朗普总统的移民打击行动中采取了一项立场，即不仅是在边境口岸入境的非公民，而且已经在美国境内居住的非公民也符合”申请进入美国者”的资格。
隶属于司法部的移民上诉委员会于9月发布裁定采纳了这一解释，导致该部门全国雇佣的移民法官均强制实施拘留。
赛克斯在12月的裁定中宣布国土安全部政策非法，但未撤销委员会的决定。
但她表示，在首席移民法官特蕾莎·莱利发布指导意见后，显然需要进一步救济，该意见指示其同事不受赛克斯裁定的约束，应继续遵循委员会的决定。
Those immigration judges are employed by the Justice Department.
赛克斯在周三的裁决中批评国土安全部反复不准确地暗示美国移民和海关执法局的行动仅限于针对”最恶劣”的犯罪非公民。
“或许这个短语只是反映了政府行为的严重性和恶意，”赛克斯写道，”尽管这些新闻稿可能包含一丝真相，但它们忽视了一个更大、更可怕的现实。”

Feb 18 (Reuters) – A federal judge on Wednesday threw out an administrative board’s decision that endorsed the Trump administration’s policy of placing thousands of people arrested during its immigration crackdown in mandatory detention without a chance to be released on bond.
U.S. District Judge Sunshine Sykes in Riverside, California, vacated the decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals after finding the administration had failed to comply with an earlier order she issued declaring the underlying policy unlawful.

Sykes, who was appointed by former Democratic President Joe Biden, called the administration’s actions “shameless” and accused it of trying to “continue their campaign of illegal action” by still refusing to grant bond hearings even after her ruling.
“Respondents have far crossed the boundaries of constitutional conduct,” Sykes wrote.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Department of Justice, which oversees the board, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Under federal immigration law, “applicants for admission” to the United States are subject to mandatory detention while their cases proceed in immigration courts and are ineligible for bond hearings.

Bucking a long-standing interpretation of the law, the DHS last year – as part of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown – took the position that non-citizens already residing in the United States, and not only those who arrive at a port of entry at the border, qualify as applicants for admission.
The Board of Immigration Appeals, which is part of the Justice Department, issued a decision in September that adopted that interpretation, leading to immigration judges nationally employed by the department to mandate detention.
Sykes in a ruling in December declared the DHS policy unlawful but stopped short of vacating the board’s decision.
But she said it was clear further relief was needed after Chief Immigration Judge Teresa Riley issued guidance instructing her colleagues that they are not bound by Sykes’ ruling and that they should continue following the board’s decision.

Sykes, in Wednesday’s decision, criticized DHS for repeatedly and inaccurately suggesting that operations by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement were limited to targeting criminal non-citizens who were the “worst of the worst.”
“Maybe that phrase merely mirrors the severity and ill-natured conduct by the Government,” Sykes wrote. “Even though these press releases might contain an inkling of truth, they ignore a greater, more dire reality.”
