播音员: 特朗普政府的移民政策导致大规模逮捕和拘留，不仅针对非法移民，也波及合法移民，例如持有绿卡的居民和美国公民。这一政策缺乏透明度和一致性，任何过往的轻微违规行为都可能成为被拘留的理由。 许多案例表明，即使是美国公民，如果政府认为其言论或行为与政府政策相抵触，也可能面临被拘留和盘问的风险。这引发了人们对政府权力滥用和对言论自由的限制的担忧。 Ben Johnson: 美国移民律师协会执行主任Ben Johnson指出，移民当局在机场和边境加强执法，缺乏透明度和一致性，任何过往违规行为都可能被放大。这使得许多合法移民在不知情的情况下被拘留，并面临不公平的待遇。 他强调，政府的执法行动缺乏明确的标准和解释，这加剧了移民社区的焦虑和不确定性。 Caroline Leavitt: 白宫新闻秘书Caroline Leavitt代表政府回应批评，声称政府不会容忍在美学习的学生支持恐怖组织。这一回应并未直接回应关于政府执法行动缺乏透明度和一致性的批评，也未解释为何一些合法移民和美国公民会被拘留。 Amir Makled: 密歇根州律师Amir Makled讲述了他本人在机场被拘留并被要求检查手机的经历。他认为，这是因为政府针对他代理的亲巴勒斯坦抗议活动参与者。他拒绝了政府的要求，并指出政府的行动缺乏正当理由，是对言论自由和个人隐私的侵犯。 Makled认为，政府此举旨在恐吓律师，阻止他们为类似案件辩护。但他同时指出，政府的行动反而激起了公众的反对，并对政府的合法性提出了质疑。
