Mina Kim: 特朗普政府的移民政策导致了对程序不正义和不人道待遇的担忧，尤其是一起错误驱逐事件引发了广泛关注。 Nick Miroff: 特朗普政府错误地将一名拥有受保护身份的马里兰男子驱逐到萨尔瓦多监狱，政府承认错误但拒绝遣返，这暴露了政府大规模驱逐行动中的问题，并引发了对程序正义和人道主义的质疑。政府试图利用模糊的法律条款，如《敌国外国人法案》，来绕过法院，对移民进行大规模驱逐，甚至根据纹身等因素来判断委内瑞拉人是否属于帮派成员，这种做法缺乏可靠性。ICE官员面临压力，导致他们对符合法院命令的移民进行逮捕，并且将被驱逐者转移到路易斯安那州，可能是出于后勤和司法因素的考虑。如果特朗普政府获得更多资金，ICE的驱逐行动可能会大幅增加。 Jerry: 将移民送往萨尔瓦多监狱的行为与将人送往古拉格类似，这表明了一种极权主义政权的出现。 Phil: 美国公民拥有宪法赋予的充分保护，但对非公民的保护程度存在争议，特朗普政府似乎正在挑战这一方面。 Noelle: 移民官员使用纹身和衣着来决定委内瑞拉人是否属于帮派成员，并根据《敌国外国人法案》将其驱逐，这种做法令人担忧。 Rachel: ICE在没有正当程序的情况下进行驱逐，这令人震惊和无法接受。 Sri: 一些已经获得合法身份的移民对当前政府的移民政策缺乏同情和支持，这令人失望。 Jim: 法院无法命令政府遣返被错误驱逐的男子，因为政府声称已经不再对其拥有管辖权。 Colby: 帮助无证移民可能会面临法律风险，政府可能会利用相关法律来打击庇护城市和官员。 Patty: 我们必须挺身而出，捍卫我们的自由。

A Tufts University PhD student from Turkey remains in detention in Louisiana after masked, plainclothes ICE officers arrested her last week, as she was walking on the street. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says that the State Department has revoked at least 300 foreign students’ visas, in an effort that appears to be targeting students who have criticized Israel’s war in Gaza. That’s after the Trump administration sent 261 Venezuelan migrants to an El Salvador prison, an action that’s being challenged in federal court. “Trump has enlisted nearly every federal law-enforcement agency to help with his mass-deportation campaign, a mobilization akin to a wartime effort,” writes Atlantic immigration reporter Nick Miroff. We’ll talk with Miroff about the latest legal battles and immigration news.
