On May 28th Art Lussi received an alarming(令人震惊的) message. His hotel, the Grandview Lake Placid, in a mountain resort in upstate New York, was halfway through(进行到一半) a 150-room renovation ahead of the summer rush. But that morning Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents had detained(拘留，扣押) a Venezuelan maintenance worker (with legal status), plus 20 contractor(承包商)s. Mr Lussi estimates(估计，估算) that the resulting delay, of nearly a month, cost half a million dollars in lost business(在损失的业务上). In a town already short of workers, finding replacements was nearly impossible. “We could still use 20 more people right now,” he says.
5月28日，阿特·卢西收到了一条令人震惊的消息。他的酒店——位于纽约州北部山区度假胜地的普莱西德湖大酒店——在夏季旺季到来前，正在进行150间客房的翻新工程，工程已完成一半。但那天早上，移民和海关执法局（ICE）的特工拘留了一名委内瑞拉籍维修工（持有合法身份）以及20名承包商。卢西先生估计，由此造成的近一个月的延误，导致损失了50万美元的业务。在一个本就缺乏工人的小镇，找到替代者几乎不可能。“我们现在还能再用20个人，”他说。
Donald Trump promised a draconian(严厉的，苛刻的) crackdown on immigration and has largely kept his word(信守诺言). Since his return to office, America’s southern border has in effect(实际上，事实上) been closed to irregular migrants, access to asylum has been sharply curtailed(削减，限制), humanitarian-parole(人道主义假释) routes mostly shut and temporary protection largely withdrawn(撤销，撤回). High-skilled migration is under pressure(处于压力之下) from tighter rules and proposed restrictions on student visas and employment-based green cards. ICE has increased arrests on America’s streets, picking up(逮捕，抓捕) many without criminal convictions.
唐纳德·特朗普承诺对移民进行严厉打压，并在很大程度上兑现了诺言。自他重返白宫以来，美国南部边境实际上已对非法移民关闭，庇护申请大幅缩减，人道主义假释途径大多关闭，临时保护也基本撤销。高技能移民正面临更严格规定以及对学生签证和就业类绿卡拟议限制的压力。ICE 增加了在美国街头的逮捕行动，逮捕了许多没有刑事定罪的人。
All told(总而言之), the administration claims to have deported 1m people and says another 2.2m have left voluntarily(自愿地). These numbers may well be(很可能是) exaggerated(夸大的). But by early 2026 deportations from within the country were running at(达到（某水平）) roughly five times the rate before Mr Trump’s return, according to the Deportation Data Project at the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of California, Los Angeles.
总而言之，政府声称已驱逐100万人，并称另有220万人自愿离开。这些数字很可能被夸大了。但根据加州大学伯克利分校和加州大学洛杉矶分校的“驱逐数据项目”，到2026年初，美国境内的驱逐速度大约是特朗普回归前的五倍。
