Rising Voices 谴责 ICE 针对密歇根州南亚及东南亚社区的拘留行动

底特律,密歇根州——Rising Voices 对美国移民与海关执法局(ICE)在密歇根州残酷、不人道地针对南亚和东南亚社区成员实施的拘留行为感到极度的震惊和愤怒。越来越多的报告显示,移民不仅在街头被逮捕,甚至在依照约定前往 ICE 进行例行报告时也被拘留,随后未经过正当法律程序就被遣返。

 

这些拘留事件显然是大规模遣返行动的进一步升级,其动机并非出于对公共安全的真实担忧,而是为了完成遣返配额。周三,在底特律 ICE 办公室被拘留的苗族和老挝裔移民中,包括了难民和合法居民,他们均无任何暴力犯罪记录,只是按照通知,前往接受所谓的“面谈”。他们没有收到任何有关约谈性质的预警,他们被拘留后,家属也未获任何信息。本质上,这些合法居民就这样“被失踪”了。

 

这些被拘留的人,他们是父母、是子女、是社区领袖、是小企业主,但最重要的是,他们是人

 

Lue Yang 是一位苗族难民,与妻子、六个孩子及罹患癌症的年迈祖母共同居住在密歇根州圣约翰市。为了养家糊口,他在工作时被拘留。若他被遣返,他将永远与家人分离,可能无法与垂危的祖母道别。Yang 同时也是“苗族家庭协会”的会长,这是一个致力于帮助密歇根州家庭的非营利组织。他被拘留不仅会让一个家庭失去经济支柱,也会让整个社区失去一位重要的社区倡导者。

 

Mohan Karki 是一位不丹-尼泊尔难民,原本与妻子 Tika Basnet 一起居住在俄亥俄州,等待他们第一个孩子的出生,却突然被拘留并送往密歇根州的一家 ICE 拘留中心。身怀六甲的妻子本应专心准备迎接新生命,却被迫一边照顾自己,一边想尽办法阻止丈夫被遣返至一个他从未踏足过的国家。Tika 最终不得不独自生产,如今一边照顾新生儿,一边为丈夫的命运奔波,努力阻止他被遣返至一个毫无关系的陌生国度。

 

这两个案例只是特朗普总统上任以来,ICE 处理的数千起拘留案件中的冰山一角。移民在我们的社区辛勤工作,做出重要的贡献,但我们必须记住,他们的价值远不仅仅是某个劳动力或某个头衔。他们不该被强行与家人分离——他们和其他密歇根人一样,都是我们社区不可或缺的一部分。

 

这些大规模拘留行动所带来的创伤,并不只是落在这些被拘留的人身上——还有依赖这些人的一整个家庭、一个社区。研究表明,当家庭成员被 ICE 逮捕后,这个家庭的平均收入将下降 70%。与此同时,拘留与遣返也让留下来的家庭成员面临更高的无家可归和食物短缺的风险。当政府和当权者将我们所爱的人带走时,受到伤害的不只是那位移民本人,更是整个社会的集体福祉。

 

被拘留者所遭受的非人待遇,以及他们被任意遗弃在美国以外的国家,这种残酷程度难以言表。在阵亡将士纪念日的那个周末,有 160 人被一架飞机遣返至老挝和越南。据统计,全美已有超过 16,000 名南亚和东南亚人被签发了遣返令,也就是说,他们正在走被遣返的程序。然而,这些人被遣送的国家往往不是他们的“原籍国”。由于许多社区成员出生于难民营或战乱地区,从法律文件上来看,他们被视为“无国籍人士”。

 

这是一场紧急的行动呼吁。作为致力于亚裔美国人、女性、家庭和青少年权益与福祉的机构,Rising Voices 坚定地反击这些暴行。这些行为,是对所有密歇根人——无论种族、族裔或出生地——的攻击。我们正处在一场国家级的危机之中,需要我们所有人齐心协力,才能阻止针对我们社区的这些骇人听闻的暴行和伤害。

 

 

Rising Voices 呼吁所有密歇根州居民立即致电你们的国会议员和州议员,强烈要求他们向 ICE 底特律地区办事处主任 Kevin Raycraft 施压,释放我们的社区成员,停止对非暴力移民和难民的大规模拘留,并确保所有被拘留者都能获得应有的正当法律程序。我们必须向我们的议员代表明确传达一个信息:他们有责任,全力保护密歇根的家庭。请参考下方链接和措辞,查找你所在选区的代表,立刻采取行动!

Script:

Dear (name of elected),

I am writing to you as a concerned constituent regarding the cruel and inhumane uptick in deportation cases of South Asian and Southeast Asian community members in our state. The persons being detained are parents, sons and daughters, community leaders, and small businesses owners, but most importantly they are human.

 

(Insert personal connection if you have one or feel comfortable doing so)

The ripping apart of families is not  just heartless, it is also detrimental to the very fabric of our society and leaves a negative impact on our economy. Studies have shown that a family’s income decreases by 70% on average after a family member is arrested by ICE.  Detention and deportation places families left behind at a higher risk of homelessness and food insecurity. 

 

We should be focusing on strengthening our economy during this time and funding our K-12 schools, not tearing families apart. I urge you as my elected representative to write to  Regional ICE Field Director Kevin Raycraft and ask them to stop the separation of families.

 

Sincerely,

(Name)

(City, Zipcode)
