众议院民主党敦促特朗普停止驱逐伊拉克国民

2019-08-14 15:25  美国新闻网  -  3545

 

  一名被驱逐的密歇根州男子上周死于糖尿病危机,众议院民主党人周二敦促唐纳德·特朗普总统停止驱逐伊拉克国民。

  在由数十名民主党人签署的这份法案表达了他们对吉米·奥尔多乌德之死的“愤慨和悲痛”。吉米·奥尔多乌德是密歇根州的一名男子,上周二在6月份被驱逐到伊拉克后去世。

  “吉米的死是他被驱逐出境的直接和可预见的结果,我们对这种残忍行为在我们的眼皮底下发生感到震惊,”立法者写道,并解释说奥尔多乌德“完全是美国化的,是一个迦勒底基督徒,一个在伊拉克受到严重迫害的宗教少数派。”

  民主党人继续说道,奥尔多乌德“同时患有糖尿病和偏执型精神分裂症”。“强迫一个患有慢性病的人进入一个无法充分获得维持生命药物的未知国家无异于判处死刑。”

  包括纽约众议员亚历山大·奥卡西奥-科尔特斯和加州众议员特德·利欧在内的立法委员小组随后恳求总统“毫不拖延地结束对居住在美国的伊拉克国民的拘留和驱逐”,以消除“更可预防的死亡”的风险

  他们补充道:“你们政府完全没有采取行动,这让人们对其宣称的保护宗教少数群体,尤其是基督教徒免受迫害的利益产生了质疑,并突显出你们移民政策的可怕后果。”。

41岁的奥尔多乌德似乎是在伊拉克无法获得胰岛素后去世的。奥尔多乌德在被驱逐到伊拉克之前,从小就住在美国,不会说阿拉伯语。

  根据,大多数被驱逐出境的伊拉克国民属于迦勒底基督教社区政客。该组织的许多公民在2016年投票支持特朗普,因为他承诺保护基督徒。

 

  奥尔多乌德上周去世后,移民律师爱德华·巴约卡表示,他与死者的家人关系密切,他透露“死亡的可能原因是无法获得他的胰岛素”脸谱网张贴。

  “几个月前,他被强行驱逐到伊拉克。他出生在希腊,从未去过伊拉克。他不认识那里的任何人。他不会说阿拉伯语。他是查尔丁少数民族的成员。他患有偏执型精神分裂症。他的精神健康是导致他被驱逐出境的法律问题的主要原因,”巴约卡写道。“安息吧,吉米。你的血在冰和政府手中。”

HOUSE DEMOCRATS URGE TRUMP TO STOP DEPORTING IRAQ NATIONALS AFTER THE DEATH OF A DEPORTED MICHIGAN MAN


  House Democrats urged President Donald Trump to stop deporting Iraq nationals on Tuesday after a deported Michigan man died last week of a diabetic crisis.

  In a letter signed by dozens of Democrats, the lawmakers expressed their "outrage and grief" over the death of Jimmy Aldaoud, a Michigan man who died last Tuesday after being deported to Iraq in June.

  "Jimmy's death was a direct and predictable result of his deportation, and we are horrified that this cruelty was perpetrated on our watch," the lawmakers wrote, explaining that Aldaoud was "entirely Americanized and a Chaldean Christian, a religious minority that is highly persecuted in Iraq."

  Aldaoud "lived with both diabetes and paranoid schizophrenia," the Democrats continued. "To force a man living with chronic illnesses into an unknown country without adequate access to life-sustaining medicine is nothing short of a death sentence."

  The group of lawmakers, which includes New York congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and California congressman Ted Lieu, then implored the president to "end the detention and deportation of Iraqi nationals living in the United States without delay" in order to end the risk of "more preventable deaths."

  "Your administration's total failure to act calls into question its stated interest in protecting religious minorities, especially Christians, from persecution, and underscores the horrific consequences of your immigration policies," they added.

  Aldaoud, 41, appeared to have died after he was unable to obtain insulin in Iraq. Before he was deported to Iraq, Aldaoud had been living in America since he was a toddler and did not speak Arabic.

  Most of the Iraqi nationals targeted for deportation belonged to the Chaldean Christian community, according to Politico. Many of the citizens in the group voted for Trump in 2016 because of his promises to protect Christians.

 

  After Aldaoud's death last week, Edward Bajoka, an immigration lawyer who says he is close to the deceased's family, revealed that "the likely cause of death was not being able to get his insulin" in a Facebook post.

  "He was forcefully deported to Iraq a couple of months ago. He was born in Greece and had never been to Iraq. He knew no one there. He did not speak Arabic. He was a   member of the Chaldean minority group. He was a paranoid schizophrenic. His mental health was the primary reason for his legal issues that led to his deportation," Bajoka wrote. "Rest In Peace Jimmy. Your blood is on the hands of ICE and this administration."
