“正在制定计划”:边境沙皇告诉CNN 移民局特工将加入TSA机场安检工作
时长:4:49

总统唐纳德·特朗普周日表示,边境沙皇汤姆·霍曼(Tom Homan)将负责在周一向机场部署移民和海关执法局(ICE)特工。霍曼告诉CNN,这些特工将协助出入口的安全工作,以减轻美国运输安全管理局(TSA)的工作负担。

“这是为了帮助TSA完成使命,让美国公众尽快通过机场,同时遵守所有安全指南和协议,”霍曼在CNN的《与达娜·巴什的国情咨文》节目中表示。

由于TSA人员在政府部分停摆期间继续无薪工作,他们纷纷辞职或请病假,导致全国机场出现长时间安检队伍。霍曼说:“我的意见是,我们应集中在等待时间最长的机场,优先处理那些等待时间长达三小时的大型机场。”

“我们只是在不需要TSA专业知识的领域提供帮助,比如通过X光机安检——我们不会进行培训,”霍曼说,“但我们可以发挥作用,让TSA人员从非关键岗位上解脱出来,例如守卫出口,以便他们能回到扫描机岗位,加快旅客通行速度。我们只是在帮助TSA的同事们。”

边境沙皇表示,ICE将在协助TSA的同时继续开展移民执法行动。他补充说,周日正在与ICE和TSA负责人协调制定计划,公众有望在周日晚些时候看到“精心策划的执行计划”的更多细节。

特朗普周六在社交媒体上首次宣布部署ICE特工的计划,当时国会议员正努力就资助国土安全部(DHS)达成协议,以应对日益严重的旅行混乱。民主党人拒绝资助该部门,要求在今年早些时候明尼阿波利斯移民执法行动导致两人死亡后,对特朗普的移民政策进行调整。

两党拨款委员会周五晚间与霍曼举行了简短会议,双方消息人士称会议“富有成效”。参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩(John Thune)周六原计划与霍曼举行的另一次会议已取消,一名共和党领袖消息人士表示,但目前尚不清楚原因。

在收到白宫周五提出的打破僵局的提议后,共和党人正在等待民主党人的反建议,谈判预计周日继续。一名知情人士表示,两党议员都希望在本周末前达成协议。

两个主要症结仍未解决:一是移民执法行动是否需要司法令状,二是ICE特工是否需摘下口罩——这两个都是民主党人的关键要求,而白宫一直抵制。

参议员们急于在本周末复活节休会前完成谈判并通过法案,这意味着需要在未来几天内达成协议,以便开始立法程序以满足时间表。

众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯(Hakeem Jeffries)周日在《国情咨文》节目中表示,派遣ICE特工到机场是为了“逼迫国会议员最终制定出资助DHS的计划”。

“不幸的是,共和党人宁愿让TSA人员无薪工作,给全国数百万美国人带来不便,现在还可能让未经培训的ICE人员上岗,在各地机场制造混乱,也不愿控制ICE人员,”杰弗里斯对CNN的达娜·巴什说道。

周六,共和党参议员约翰·肯尼迪(John Kennedy)告诉CNN,派遣ICE特工到机场“可能会有所帮助”,但他指出这并非解决安检队伍过长的最终方案。

“如果他们计划利用部分ICE人员协助人群管理,以释放TSA人员进行安检,我认为这可能会有帮助。”

‘Working on the plan:’ Border czar tells CNN ICE agents will join TSA at airports

4:49

President Donald Trump said Sunday border czar Tom Homan will be in charge of deploying Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to airports on Monday, with Homan telling CNN the agents will help with security at entrances and exits to ease the Transportation Security Administration’s workload.

“This is about going to helping TSA do their mission and get the American public through that airport as quick as they can while adhering to all the security guidelines and the protocols,” Homan said on CNN’s “State of the Union with Dana Bash.”

Long security lines have been seen at airports around the country, as TSA officers have quit their jobs or called out sick as they continue to work without pay amid a partial government shutdown. Homan said his “opinion is that we concentrate on the airports where the longest waits are, we prioritize those large airports with those long waits like three hours.”

“We’re simply there to help TSA do their job in areas that don’t need their specialized expertise, such as screening through the X-ray machine — Not training that, we won’t do that,” Homan said. “But there are roles we can play to release TSA officers from the non-significant roles, such as guarding an exit so they can get back to the scanning machines and move people quicker, and we’re just simply helping our fellow officers at TSA.”

The border czar said ICE will continue conducting immigration enforcement operations while aiding TSA. He added that planning discussions are taking place Sunday in coordination with the heads of ICE and the TSA, and that the public can expect more details of “a well thought out plan to execute” later Sunday.

Trump first announced the move to deploy ICE agents on social media Saturday, as lawmakers worked toward reaching an agreement to fund DHS amid mounting travel disruptions. Democrats have refused to fund the department as they demand changes that would rein in Trump’s immigration policies after two people were killed during an immigration enforcement surge in Minneapolis earlier this year.

Bipartisan appropriators held a brief meeting with Homan on Friday evening that sources from both parties called “productive.” Another meeting with Homan that Senate Majority Leader John Thune had previewed for Saturday was cancelled, a GOP leadership source said, but it was unclear why.

Talks are expected to continue Sunday as Republicans await a counteroffer from Democrats after receiving a proposal to break the impasse from the White House on Friday. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are pushing to reach a deal by the end of the week, according to a person familiar with the talks.

Two of the big sticking points remain whether to require judicial warrants on an immigration enforcement action and require ICE agents to remove their masks — both key Democratic demands that the White House has resisted.

Senators are eager to wrap up talks and pass a bill before Easter recess begins at week’s end, meaning a deal needs to be reached within the next couple of days to begin the legislative process in order to meet that timeframe.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told “State of the Union” on Sunday the plan to send ICE agents to airports was an effort to “squeeze lawmakers to try to finally come up with a plan to fund DHS.”

“It’s unfortunate that Republicans have decided that they would rather force TSA agents to work without pay, inconvenience millions of Americans all across the country and now potentially expose them to untrained ICE agents and create chaos at airports throughout the land, rather than get ICE agents under control,” Jeffries told CNN’s Dana Bash.

On Saturday, Republican Sen. John Kennedy told CNN “it could help” to send ICE agents to airports, but suggested that it’s not a definitive solution to the long security lines.

“If they’re planning on using some of the ICE folks to help with crowd control to free up TSA people to do the screening, I could see a scenario where that might help.”
