关于detention我想说拜登政府不想让公众看到的这些照片，被曝光了

据美联社3月23日报道，几周以来，拜登政府一直试图阻止媒体看到22日曝光的照片组。

被曝光的这些图片显示了被美国拘押在边境的移民儿童盖着铝箔制应急毯睡在地垫上，以塑料隔断成群分开。

President Joe Biden’s administration has tried for weeks to keep the public from seeing images like those that emerged Monday showing immigrant children in UScustody at the border sleeping on mats under foil blankets, separated in groups by plastic partitions.

报道称，政府官员坚决拒绝将美国边境上逾1.5万名儿童的生活状况称作危机。并且他们阻挠了外部人士的参与。

Administration officials have steadfastly refused to call the detention of more than 15,000 children in UScustody, or the conditions they’re living under, a crisis. But they have stymied most efforts by outsiders to decide for themselves.

“豆荚”里的孩子们

3月22日，美国阿克西奥斯新闻网站（Axios）首次曝光了这组在美国最大的边防巡逻队拘押中心内拍摄的一系列照片，该中心内部杂乱无序。这些照片来自得克萨斯州民主党众议员亨利·奎利亚尔。

Axios on Monday first published a series of photos taken inside the largest Border Patrol detention center, a sprawling tent facility in the South Texas city of Donna.The photos were released by Rep. Henry Cuellar, a Texas Democrat from the border city of Laredo.

Cuellar said the "pods" were meant to house 260 individuals, but that one of them held more than 400 unaccompanied male minors. He said the children needed to be quickly moved from the facility into the care of the Department of Health and Human Services.

奎利亚尔说这些“豆荚”似的舱里本该容纳260人，但其中一个舱里已经容纳了400多名无人陪伴的未成年男性。他认为应当迅速将这些孩子交给美国卫生与公众服务部照顾。

奎利亚尔表示，他选择曝光这些照片的原因之一就是拜登政府拒绝媒体进入该拘押中心。

Cuellar said one reason he released the photos was because the Biden administration had refused media access to the facility in Donna, Texas.

拜登政府

拒绝媒体探访引争议

据美联社报道，官员们禁止进行监督的非营利律师进入边防巡逻队的一座帐篷，那里拘押了数以千计的儿童和青少年。联邦机构拒绝或无视媒体数十次提出的进入拘押场所的要求。特朗普政府曾数次批准这种要求。

Officials barred nonprofit lawyers who conduct oversight from entering a Border Patrol tent where thousands of children and teenagers are detained. And federal agencies have refused or ignored dozens of requests from the media for access to detention sites. Such access was granted several times by the administration of President Donald Trump, whose restrictive immigration approach Biden vowed to reverse.

报道指出，新任总统拜登因为边境问题上显而易见的遮掩行径面临越来越多的批评，包括来自其他民主党人的批评。

The new president faces growing criticism for the apparent secrecy at the border, including from fellow Democrats.

据卫报报道，根据美国政策，儿童被拘押的时间不应超过三天。目前，拜登政府拒绝允许媒体访问此类边境设施的争议也越来越多。
