The US supreme court agreed on Thursday to take up a case challenging the Trump administration’s practice of indefinite detention for undocumented immigrants living in the US and awaiting deportation proceedings.
美国最高法院周四同意受理一个案件，质疑特朗普政府无限期拘留居住在美国并等待驱逐程序的无证移民的做法。
At the center of the immigration case is a dispute over Donald Trump’s reinterpretation of a longstanding policy that has led to a huge surge in the number of migrants held in detention centers.
移民案件的核心是唐纳德·特朗普对一项长期政策的重新解释，该政策导致拘留中心关押的移民人数大幅增加。
For years, undocumented immigrants, who had been living in the US could be released back into their communities on bond, so long as they did not pose a threat to safety or were considered a flight risk.
多年来，一直生活在美国的无证移民可以保释回到自己的社区，只要他们不对安全构成威胁或被视为有逃亡风险。
But last year, administration officials reinterpreted the statute to mean any migrant who entered the US illegally should be held in detention while awaiting legal proceedings.
但去年，政府官员重新解释了该法规，意味着任何非法进入美国的移民在等待法律诉讼期间都应被拘留。
The case was the latest Trump-era immigration policy to be added to the high court’s docket this term.
该案是本学期被添加到高等法院待审案件中的最新特朗普时代移民政策案件。
This week, justices said they would hear arguments in a case challenging the administration’s “third-country” deportations, which allow immigrants to be sent to a country other than their own.
本周，法官们表示，他们将听取对政府“第三国”驱逐出境提出质疑的案件的辩论，该驱逐允许移民被送往本国以外的国家。
The challenger to the Trump administration’s reinterpreted policy denying bond hearings is Ricardo Aparecido Barbosa da Cunha, a Brazilian citizen who has been living in the US for more than 20 years.
特朗普政府重新解释拒绝举行保释听证会的政策的挑战者是在美国生活了 20 多年的巴西公民里卡多·阿帕雷西多·巴博萨·达库尼亚 (Ricardo Aparecido Barbosa da Cunha)。
Authorities say Barbosa da Cunha entered the US illegally in or around 2005. He owns a home in Massachusetts, runs a small construction company, has a wife and two US-born children, and has never been charged with a crime.
当局称巴博萨·达库尼亚于 2005 年左右非法进入美国。 他在马萨诸塞州拥有一套房屋，经营一家小型建筑公司，有一名妻子和两个在美国出生的孩子，并且从未被指控犯罪。
He was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents last year while driving to work and moved to an immigration detention facility in Buffalo, New York.
去年，他在开车上班时被移民和海关执法局（ICE）人员逮捕，并被转移到纽约州布法罗的一个移民拘留所。
Barbosa da Cunha had requested a bond hearing but was denied.
巴博萨·达库尼亚曾请求举行保释听证会，但遭到拒绝。
A district court sided with Barbosa da Cunha, ordering the government to give him a bond hearing. An appeals court affirmed that decision after the administration appealed.
地区法院站在巴博萨·达库尼亚一边，命令政府为他举行保释听证会。 在政府提出上诉后，上诉法院维持了这一决定。
But now lawyers for the government are asking the supreme court to intervene.
但现在政府的律师要求最高法院进行干预。
The dispute is not unique to Barbosa da Cunha; lower courts have been split on the Trump administration’s policy reinterpretation in other immigration cases as well.
这种争议并非巴博萨·达库尼亚所独有。下级法院对于特朗普政府在其他移民案件中的政策重新解释也存在分歧。
More than 500 district court judges and nine of the 11 federal appeals courts who have heard similar cases have rejected the Trump administration’s new interpretation, according to the New York Times.
据《纽约时报》报道，审理过类似案件的 500 多名地方法院法官和 11 个联邦上诉法院中的 9 个法官拒绝了特朗普政府的新解释。
Judges have largely agreed that the statute the Trump administration is using to indefinitely detain undocumented immigrants only applies to those who have been apprehended at a port of entry, such as the US-Mexico border.
法官们基本上一致认为，特朗普政府用来无限期拘留无证移民的法规仅适用于在美墨边境等入境口岸被捕的人。
