罗德岛州民主党人提出一项法案,禁止警方雇佣唐纳德·特朗普总统第二任期内雇佣的移民执法局(ICE)特工,升级了该州对联邦移民执法的反抗。
近几个月来,包括移民执法局(ICE)在内的移民执法人员受到反对特朗普大规模驱逐政策的民主党议员和州长的抨击。总统称,由于拜登执政时期的“开放边境”影响,这些“必要”的驱逐是必需的。
在罗德岛州,众议院和参议院的配套法案被称为“ICE OUT法案”,将修订《执法人员正当程序问责与透明度法》,增加一项新的限制条款。

“执法机构不得雇佣任何在2025年1月20日或之后被雇佣为美国移民和海关执法局正式官员的个人,”该法案称。
该政策将于2026年10月生效,不会影响已从移民执法局离职的任何官员。
据《普罗维登斯日报》报道,该法案在众议院的主要提案人、民主党州议员卡伦·阿尔扎特表示,该政策将有助于加强罗德岛州的公共警察关系。

支持该法案的罗德岛州女律师协会官员也告诉该报,特朗普时期国土安全部所谓的“宽松雇佣标准”在罗德岛州是不够的。
作为回应,代理国土安全部副部长劳伦·比斯告诉福克斯新闻数字版,罗德岛州的“庇护所政客”错误地将移民执法局特工描绘成反派,而他们只是在工作中被针对、威胁和曝光身份信息。
“他们应该感谢这些新雇佣的移民执法局官员挺身而出,将有犯罪行为的非法移民挡在罗德岛街头之外,”比斯说。
“对大多数美国人来说,我们的移民执法局官员是英雄,因为他们冒着生命危险逮捕杀人犯、强奸犯、恋童癖者、帮派成员和恐怖分子。”
与此同时,据《法尔河记者报》报道,罗德岛州警方官员在最近的州立法听证会上警告称,包括“ICE OUT法案”在内的一系列民主党领导的警察改革法案将影响警员招募。
另一位州议员、民主党人约书亚·吉拉尔多(来自中央瀑布市)提出的另一项法案将禁止移民执法局特工在投票站200英尺范围内活动。在会议期间,吉拉尔多表示,当猜测联邦移民执法部门驻扎在投票站附近时,“特别是在当前环境下;移民社区听到的信息是针对恐吓的。”

普罗维登斯市市长布雷特·斯迈利1月发布的行政命令禁止国土安全部官员进入州首府市区,将停车场、学校、公园和政府大楼列为限制区域。
“[普罗维登斯]有责任以确保公众信任、获取和为所有居民提供基本城市服务的方式管理此类财产,”市长的命令部分内容称。
福克斯新闻数字版已联系州长丹·麦基,询问如果“ICE OUT法案”送达他的办公桌上,他是否会签署该法案,并联系国土安全部寻求置评。

Blue state proposal targets Trump-era ICE hires, banning them from joining local police forces
DHS said the state should be grateful ‘these newly hired ICE officers stepped up to keep criminal illegal aliens off of Rhode Island’s streets’

Rhode Island Democrats have introduced a bill that would bar police departments from hiring ICE agents brought on during President Donald Trump’s second term, escalating the state’s pushback against federal immigration enforcement.
Immigration enforcement agents, including those within ICE, have come under fire in recent months from Democratic lawmakers and governors opposed to the tactics involved in Trump’s mass deportation agenda, which the president has said are necessary due to the open-border effects of the Biden era.
In Rhode Island, companion bills in the House and Senate dubbed the ICE OUT Act would amend the Law Enforcement Officers’ Due Process Accountability and Transparency Act to add a section denoting the new restriction.

“A law enforcement agency… shall not employ any individual who was hired as a sworn officer of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency on or after January 20, 2025,” the bill reads.
The policy would take effect in October 2026 and would not affect any officers already hired out of ICE’s ranks.
The bill’s top sponsor in the House, Democratic state Rep. Karen Alzate of Pawtucket, said during a recent hearing that the policy would help bolster public-police relationships in Rhode Island, according to the Providence Journal.

An official with the Rhode Island Women’s Bar Association, which supports the bill, also told the paper that the alleged “relaxed hiring standards” of Trump-era DHS would not suffice in the Ocean State.
In response, Acting Assistant DHS Secretary Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital that “sanctuary politicians” in Rhode Island are wrongly casting ICE agents as villains while they continue to be targeted, threatened and doxxed just for doing their jobs.
“They should be grateful that these newly hired ICE officers stepped up to keep criminal illegal aliens off of Rhode Island’s streets,” Bis said.
“To most Americans, our ICE officers are heroes as they put their lives on the line to arrest murderers, rapists, pedophiles, gang members, and terrorists.”
Meanwhile, Rhode Island police officials warned in recent state legislative testimony on a broader group of Democratic-led police reform bills, which include the ICE OUT Act, that officer recruitment will take a hit, according to the Fall River Reporter.
Another such bill from state Rep. Joshua Giraldo, D-Central Falls, would ban ICE from being within 200 feet of a polling place. During the session, Giraldo said that when conjecture about stationing federal immigration enforcement near polls arises, “particularly in the current climate; immigrant communities hear a message that is aimed at intimidation.”

DHS officers on duty are already banned from the city proper in the state capital under a January executive order from Providence Mayor Brett Smiley that makes parking lots, schools, parks and government buildings restricted areas.

“[Providence] has the responsibility to manage such property in a manner that ensures public trust, access and delivery of essential city services for all residents,” the mayor’s order read in part.
Fox News Digital reached out to Gov. Dan McKee for indications as to whether he would sign the ICE OUT Act if it reaches his desk, and to DHS for comment.
