华盛顿4月22日(路透社)——科罗拉多州一名地区检察官宣布起诉一名美国海关与边境保护局官员,该官员被指于去年联邦移民设施外的一场抗议活动中袭击一名女性。
这起发生在科罗拉多州南部的事件的视频在社交媒体上广泛传播。该女性告诉哥伦比亚广播公司科罗拉多频道,她当时正在拍摄这名官员,随后他“不知用了什么方式将我拖离地面,还锁住了我的喉咙”。

科罗拉多州第六司法地区检察官肖恩·P·默里确认,涉事官员为尼古拉斯·赖斯,他于去年10月在该州参与了移民执法行动。
“尼古拉斯·赖斯官员已通过传票和起诉状被指控犯有三级袭击罪和故意损坏财物罪,”默里在周二的一份声明中说道,并补充称,这些指控与10月28日发生在科罗拉多州杜兰戈市美国移民及海关执法局设施外的事件有关。
美国海关与边境保护局未立即回应置评请求,目前尚不清楚赖斯是否仍在执勤。

此次设施外的10月抗议活动,是在杜兰戈市一名男子及其两名子女在上学途中被移民特工逮捕后发起的。一名移民海关执法局官员后来表示,该男子被特工错误识别。
就在赖斯被指控的不到一周前,明尼苏达州检察官指控一名移民海关执法局特工犯有袭击罪,指其于2月在明尼阿波利斯市一条高速公路上用枪指向两名坐在车内的人员。
移民海关执法局和美国海关与边境保护局均隶属于美国国土安全部,该部门一直在总统唐纳德·特朗普的移民打击行动中处于一线。
此次打击行动已在多个目标城市引发抗议,而在联邦移民特工于1月在明尼阿波利斯市枪杀两名美国公民——亚历克斯·普雷蒂和蕾妮·古德后,抗议活动蔓延至全国。

WASHINGTON, April 22 (Reuters) – A Colorado district attorney has announced charges against a U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer who allegedly assaulted a woman during a protest outside a federal immigration facility last year.
Videos of the incident in southern Colorado were shared widely on social media. The woman told CBS News Colorado she was filming the officer before he “lifted me off the ground somehow, in a chokehold.”

Sean P. Murray, the district attorney for Colorado’s Sixth Judicial District, identified the officer as Nicholas Rice, who was involved in immigration enforcement activity in the state last October.
“Officer Nicholas Rice has been charged by summons and complaint with assault in the third degree and criminal mischief,” Murray said in a statement on Tuesday, adding that the charges were related to an October 28 incident at U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s facility in Durango, Colorado.
CBP did not immediately respond to a request for comment and it is unclear if Rice is still on duty.

The October protest outside the facility was held after a Durango man and his two children were arrested by immigration agents while on the way to school. An ICE official later said the man was wrongly identified by agents.
Rice’s charges came less than a week after prosecutors in Minnesota charged an ICE agent with assault for allegedly pointing his gun at two people in a car along a highway in Minneapolis in February.
ICE and CBP are part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which has been on the front line of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.
The crackdown has resulted in protests in targeted cities that expanded nationwide following the fatal shootings by federal immigration officers in Minneapolis in January of two U.S. citizens – Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
