缅因州ICE枪击案致一名哥伦比亚移民死亡,一周内第二起致命事件
一名26岁哥伦比亚男子在比德福德被ICE特工射杀,引发对移民执法手段的抗议和调查要求。
美国缅因州比德福德市7月13日上午发生一起致命枪击事件,一名26岁哥伦比亚籍男子在移民与海关执法局(ICE)特工执行任务时中弹身亡。这是不到一周内ICE特工第二次卷入致命枪击,此前7月7日,52岁的墨西哥移民洛伦佐·萨尔加多·阿劳霍在休斯顿的一次交通拦截中被ICE特工射杀。
据缅因州众议院议长瑞安·费克托在社交媒体上发布的信息,枪击发生在比德福德,一人死亡,ICE特工在场。州长珍妮特·米尔斯随后证实,州警正与联邦当局合作调查。移民权利组织“缅因州移民权利联盟”和“Presente! Maine”联合确认,死者为26岁哥伦比亚公民,持有美国工作许可和社会安全号码,但未公布其姓名。
关于事件经过,官方与目击者说法存在分歧。参议员安格斯·金转述国土安全部长马克韦恩·穆林的通报称,该男子在特工试图拦截其车辆时“将车辆用作武器”,特工因此开枪。但金随后表示,穆林后来更正信息,称死者并非最初逮捕令的目标。一名目击者告诉美联社,他听到受害者说“我试着停下”,并看到特工从车中拖出满脸是血的男子。现场视频显示一辆白色轿车在街上打转,特工徒步追赶。涉事特工未佩戴随身摄像头,增加了调查的复杂性。
此次枪击事件发生在特朗普政府扩大移民执法行动的背景下。今年1月,ICE在明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯的行动中曾射杀两名美国公民,引发全国抗议。缅因州虽远离南部边境,但自年初以来ICE在此部署了“当日捕获”行动,逮捕人数近期激增。比德福德枪击后,约200名抗议者聚集在公园,随后游行至共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯的办公室,高呼“ICE滚出去”。
目前,联邦调查局已主导调查,州总检察长办公室和首席法医参与。涉事特工按惯例被行政停职。ICE和国土安全部尚未发表正式声明。调查人员正收集监控录像和证人证词,以确定使用致命武力是否合理。

The Atlantic reports the facts with detachment, including the perspective of law enforcement and the witness, without taking sides.
It balances the news by including the witness account that explains the agents' reaction, normalizing the use of force as a response to a threat.
It omits the context of previous ICE killings and criticism of the agency's brutality, present in the European press.
Latin America records the incident soberly, but highlights the involvement of Trump's immigration agents, evoking a climate of repression.
It uses the mention of Trump to associate the episode with an aggressive immigration policy, without explicitly condemning.
It omits details of the shooting dynamics and the witness testimony, reducing the event to a news brief.
