The U.S. Department of Homeland Security says immigration officers have arrested more than 680 people in recent raids targeting illegal migrants, most of them criminals.

美國在對非法移民的突襲中逮捕680多人

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly said 75 percent of those rounded up for deportation have criminal records, and he described the operations as routine. The raids took place in Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, San Antonio and New York.

Kelly said the crimes committed by the undocumented migrants included homicide and aggravated sexual assault. He said the focus of the recent raids was on dangerous criminals, but said it also included anyone who had broken immigration laws.

President Donald Trump said Monday that he was honoring his campaign pledge to deport criminal illegal migrants. "We're getting them out. I'm just doing what I said I would."

Speaking at a news conference at the White House with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Trump said "We're getting the criminals, the drug lords.... We're getting the bad ones ... People are going to be very, very happy."

Trump described the government's raids against the illegal migrants as "a stance of common sense." The number of arrests during the recent raids is similar to those carried out during operations by the previous administration of Barack Obama.

While the raids were not out of the ordinary, news of the arrests and rumors about other raids sparked fear and confusion among immigrants. Immigration rights activists say the government is deporting migrants indiscriminately, and not taking into account their ties to the community.

During the campaign for president, Trump promised to deport 2-3 million undocumented migrants with criminal records once he took office.美國國土安全部稱,移民官員在最近針對非法移民的突襲中逮捕了680多人,其中大多數是罪犯。

國土安全部長約翰·凱利說,被驅逐出境的人中75%有犯罪記錄,他稱突襲爲常規行動。突襲是在洛杉磯、芝加哥、亞特蘭大、聖安東尼奧和紐約展開的。

凱利說,非法移民犯下的罪行包括殺人和攻擊性性侵。他說,最近突襲的目標是危險的罪犯,但他表示其中也包括違反移民法的人。

美國總統川普星期一說,他正在履行他的競選承諾,驅逐犯罪的非法移民。他說,“我們正把他們趕出去,我只是在做我說過要做的。”

川普在與加拿大總理特魯多舉行的白宮新聞發佈會上說:“我們抓的是罪犯、販毒分子......我們抓的是壞人……人們會非常非常高興。”

川普說,政府打擊非法移民是站在“常識性立場”。在最近的襲擊中被逮捕的人數與在前任總統奧巴馬政府的行動中被逮捕的人數相近。

突襲行動並沒有不同尋常之出,但有關逮捕的新聞和其他突襲傳聞引發了移民的恐慌和混亂。移民權利活動人士說,政府不分青紅皁白地驅逐移民,沒有考慮他們與社區的關係。

川普在總統競選期間承諾,他上臺後將驅逐200到300萬有犯罪記錄的非法移民。
