华盛顿4月28日（路透社）——据发送给美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS，隶属于国土安全部）员工的内部指导文件显示，唐纳德·特朗普政府已下令对移民申请人实施其所谓的“强化”安全审查。
美国公民及移民服务局的内部指导要求官员不得批准任何未通过扩大背景审查的待审案件。CBS新闻最先报道了这份指导文件。

路透社看到的一封上周发送给美国公民及移民服务局难民、庇护与国际业务局员工的内部邮件称：“自2026年4月27日起，美国公民及移民服务局将开始接收所有提交给联邦调查局下一代识别系统的指纹背景调查所需的强化犯罪历史记录信息（CHRI）。”
自2025年初就职以来，特朗普一直在推行移民打击行动，其政府称此举对改善国内安全和减少非法移民至关重要。
人权倡导者、民权组织和宗教领袖谴责了这场移民打击行动，称其违反了正当程序和言论自由权利，并制造了不安全的环境，对少数族裔群体尤为如此。

这份最新指导文件出台前，特朗普于2月签署了一项行政命令，要求“国土安全部移民当局必须在法律允许的最大范围内，获取联邦刑事司法机构掌握的犯罪历史记录信息”。
强化审查将影响所有提交指纹的移民待审申请，例如美国永久居留权或绿卡申请以及入籍申请。
内部指导文件显示，若联邦调查局针对某待审案件的信息是在4月27日之前收到的，美国公民及移民服务局官员将被要求重新提交该案件的指纹。
美国公民及移民服务局一名发言人在给美国媒体的声明中表示，该局“已实施新的安全审查，通过扩大获取联邦刑事数据库的渠道，加强对申请人的审查和筛查”。
美国公民及移民服务局称，“任何审批决定的延误都将十分短暂，很快就能解决”。

WASHINGTON, April 28 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s administration has mandated what it calls “enhanced” security checks for immigration applicants, according to internal guidance sent to the employees of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security.
Internal guidance by USCIS directed officers to refrain from approving any pending cases that have not undergone the expanded background checks. The guidance was first reported by CBS News.

“Effective April 27, 2026, USCIS will begin receiving enhanced criminal history record information (CHRI) for all fingerprint-based background checks submitted to the FBI’s Next Generation Identification system,” said an internal USCIS email from last week seen by Reuters. The email was sent to USCIS’ Refugee, Asylum and International Operations Directorate staff.
Since taking office in early 2025, Trump has pursued an immigration crackdown that his administration says is necessary to improve domestic security and cut illegal immigration.
Human rights advocates, civil rights groups and religious leaders have condemned the crackdown, saying it has violated due process and free speech rights, and created an unsafe environment, particularly for ethnic minorities.

The latest guidance follows an executive order Trump signed in February which directed that “DHS immigration authorities must access criminal history record information (CHRI) in the custody of federal criminal justice agencies to the maximum extent permitted by law.”
The enhanced checks will affect pending applications for which immigrants submit fingerprints, like applications for permanent U.S. residency or green cards and naturalization.
USCIS officers were directed to resubmit fingerprints for pending cases if the FBI information for those cases was received prior to April 27, the internal guidance said.
In a statement to U.S. media, a USCIS spokesman said the agency “has implemented new security checks to strengthen the vetting and screening of applicants through expanded access to federal criminal databases.”
USCIS said that “any delay in decision issuance should be brief and resolved shortly.”
