進退維谷：懼遭ICE逮捕，美國移民被迫放棄法庭程序
美國移民因恐懼移民及海關執法局（ICE）在法庭的拘捕行動，而陷入是否出庭的兩難境地。本文深入探討此現象對司法正義與移民社群造成的深遠影響。
對於尋求在美國合法居留的移民而言，「出庭可能被抓，缺席則遭遞解」已成為一道無解的難題。根據網路媒體「Boing Boing」報導，由於擔心在法庭被美國移民及海關執法局（ICE）官員拘捕，許多移民寧願選擇缺席等待已久的法庭聽證會。此現象不僅凸顯了移民群體的困境，更反映出美國司法程序的信任危機。
移民法庭是決定個人能否獲得庇護、或是否應被驅逐出境的關鍵場所。然而，負責執行移民法律、逮捕並遣返無證移民的ICE，近年被指在法庭內外進行執法，此舉在移民社群中引發了普遍的恐懼。本應是尋求法律保護的殿堂，如今在許多移民眼中，卻成了如履薄冰的危險之地。
移民律師及人權倡議者指出，出庭是移民為自己辯護的唯一機會，但親赴法庭卻可能面臨被立即拘留的風險。在這種恐懼之下，許多人選擇了迴避。然而，法律後果同樣嚴峻：一旦缺席聽證會，法官通常會直接下達缺席遞解令（in absentia removal order）。這使得移民陷入了進退維谷的絕境，被迫在行使辯護權與人身自由之間做出艱難抉擇。
對此，美國國土安全部（DHS）的官方政策是將法院列為「敏感地點」，原則上限制ICE在此類場所展開執法行動。然而，多個移民權益組織表示，該政策在實際執行中存在漏洞，法庭周邊的逮捕行動已對移民社群造成了寒蟬效應。無論作何選擇，移民都可能面臨無法挽回的後果，處境堪憂。
