舒暢:美國公民如果協助非法移民是有罪的可以判獄五年監禁
上周五(2025年4月25日),美國聯邦調查局(FBI)逮捕了威斯康星州密爾沃基縣巡迴法院法官漢娜·杜根(Hannah Dugan),指控她在法院內協助一名無證移民逃避聯邦移民執法人員的逮捕。在美國法律中,協助非法移民逃避執法是犯罪行為。依據《美國法典》第8編第1324條(8 U.S.C. § 1324),如果一個人明知對方是非法入境者,仍然窩藏、運輸、幫助隱藏,或者鼓勵他們留在美國,就是違法。一般而言犯罪者可被判處5年監禁和罰款;如涉及經濟利益、多人受害甚至死亡,刑期會大幅加重,最重可以判到終身監禁。 據報道,杜根法官被控在2025年4月18日的庭審中,故意引導移民和海關執法局(ICE)特工離開現場,然後通過法院的非公開通道將被告愛德華多·弗洛雷斯-魯伊斯(Eduardo Flores-Ruiz)和其律師帶出法庭。弗洛雷斯-魯伊斯隨後在法院外被聯邦特工追捕並逮捕。 citeturn0search1 弗洛雷斯-魯伊斯是一名29歲的墨西哥籍男子,曾於2013年被驅逐出境,後非法再次入境美國。他面臨多項暴力犯罪指控,包括勒頸、毆打和家庭暴力。 citeturn0search0 杜根法官被控兩項聯邦重罪:妨礙執法和隱匿被通緝人員。在實際司法操作中,已有多人因此被判罪:有人因幫助非法移民藏匿,判監4個月;有人因偽造材料幫助非法移民,判監1年半。這顯 示,美國在處理涉及非法移民的問題上,有例可循。這位奧巴馬支持的法官看來難逃法網。 截至到2025年4月川普嚴厲的對付非法移民政策在邊控方面已經取得了很大成效。然而在驅逐非法移民方面真正成果有限!他說要驅逐2千萬非法移民,由於民主黨的極力反對,即便是對那些重罪犯的驅逐也面臨重重困難。川普上台百天不到,內政方面取得了不俗成果,有目共睹!但與美國深層政府之間有關司法改革的正常化的白熱化戰爭,顯然還是剛剛開始 附錄:8 U.S.C. § 1324 (英文原文核心部分)Title 8 U.S.C. § 1324 — Bringing in and Harboring Certain Aliens (a) Criminal penalties (1) Any person who— (A) knowing that a person is an alien, brings to or attempts to bring to the United States in any manner whatsoever such person at a place other than a designated port of entry or place other than as designated by the Commissioner, regardless of whether such alien has received prior official authorization to come to, enter, or reside in the United States and regardless of any future official action which may be taken with respect to such alien; (B) knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, transports, moves, or attempts to transport or move such alien within the United States by means of transportation or otherwise, in furtherance of such violation of law; (C) knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that an alien has come to, entered, or remains in the United States in violation of law, conceals, harbors, or shields from detection, or attempts to conceal, harbor, or shield from detection, such alien in any place, including any building or means of transportation; (D) encourages or induces an alien to come to, enter, or reside in the United States, knowing or in reckless disregard of the fact that such coming to, entry, or residence is or will be in violation of law; or (E) engages in any conspiracy to commit any of the preceding acts, or aids or abets the commission of any of the preceding acts, shall be punished as provided in subparagraph (B). (2) Penalties— For each alien in respect to whom a violation occurs— 中文翻譯(簡明版)《美國法典》第8編第1324條——引入和窩藏非法移民 (一)刑事處罰 任何人如果: (A)明知某人為外國人,仍在非指定入境口岸將其帶入美國;
(B)明知或魯莽無視某人非法入境或滯留美國,仍運輸或協助運輸此人;
(C)明知或魯莽無視某人非法身份,仍窩藏、藏匿或保護其不被發現;
(D)鼓勵或引導外國人非法入境或居留美國;
(E)與他人共謀或協助上述任何行為,
則依法追究刑事責任。 (二)處罰
