致所有關心香港未來與在美港人權益的朋友：

因應香港政治局勢的劇烈變化，無數港人被迫離開家園。美國政府近年實施的「延期強制離境」（Deferred Enforced Departure, DED）政策，為滯留美國的香港人提供了臨時的避風港與合法工作權。

然而，DED 僅屬臨時性質，每次均需視乎行政指令延長，缺乏長期保障。這讓無數在美港人長期處於身份的不確定性中，無法安心扎根、規劃未來。

時事評論員袁弓夷先生及多位關心港人權益的人士持續向美國國會呼籲：美國政府應開闢特別立法通道，允許持有 DED 身份且符合條件的香港人，直接申請轉為美國永久居留權（綠卡）。

我們向美國國會議員提出的核心訴求：

1. 提供長期安全保障： 鑑於香港人權與法治狀況，港人返港風險依然巨大，應給予長期且穩定的法律身份。

2. 充分發揮港人人才優勢： 在美港人具備良好教育背景與專業技能，獲得永久居留權將有助於他們全心投入並回饋美國在地社會與經濟。

3. 貫徹人道主義精神： 透過立法建立特別通道，一勞永逸地解決滞留港人的身份困境，實踐美國對民主與人權的堅定承諾。

團結就是力量！我們需要您的「一封信」！

法案的推動離不開強大的民意基礎。國會議員需要聽到來自社區與選民的強烈呼聲！無論您是在美港人、美國公民、持綠卡者，或是支持香港自由民主的盟友，您的支持信都是關鍵的一票。

華盛頓特區——今天，美國俄勒岡州參議員傑夫·默克利和美國眾議員詹姆斯·P·麥戈文（馬薩諸塞州第二選區）——國會及行政當局中國委員會（CECC）的資深成員——宣布了《 香港人避難承諾法案》，這是一項旨在為逃離迫害並居住在美國的香港居民提供保護的新立法。

自 2021 年以來，香港居民一直受到「暫緩強制離境 (DED) 計畫」的保護，免遭遣返；然而，該計畫將於 2027 年初到期。默克利和麥戈文提出的法案將允許某些居住在美國的香港居民申請美國合法永久居民身份，並最終獲得美國公民身份，而不是被迫返回中華人民共和國。

 「鑑於中華人民共和國和香港當局持續破壞香港人的基本權利和自由，美國必須保護那些在美國尋求庇護的香港居民，」 默克利說。 「中華人民共和國對香港自治、法治和公民自由的侵蝕，以及對那些勇敢發聲表達異議人士的政治迫害，意味著美國不能拋棄那些在美國尋求庇護的香港人。國會必須採取行動，制定相關法律，確保 居住 在美國的香港人不必擔心被驅逐出境。”

「香港人在美國的『延遲強制離境政策』下找到了安全港灣，我們應該繼續保護他們免遭遣返，回到香港的危險境地，」 麥戈文說。  「我敦促川普總統延長‘延遲強制離境政策’，但如果他不這樣做，國會應該通過我們的法案。過去，為香港人提供庇護曾得到兩黨支持，包括當時的參議員馬可·盧比奧的支持。如今，特朗普-盧比奧政府卻試圖將人們遣返回他們曾經聲稱反對的中國共產黨的迫害之下。我們不應成為這種侵犯人權行為的幫助。

默克利 和 麥戈文 一直帶頭捍衛香港人的權利，保護居住在美國的香港居民免於遣返。他們也重點關注了 黎智英 和 其他民主倡議者的案例 ，這些人一直是中國內地和香港政府協同鎮壓言論自由和民主的目標。 

《 香港人避難承諾法案》 得到了香港觀察、香港自由委員會基金會和香港民主委員會的支持。

「居住在美國的香港人之所以能獲得保護，是因為美國七年來一直譴責的鎮壓行動，而如今他們卻在這種保護下遭到逮捕。暫緩強制離境從來就不是永久性的，一份將於2月到期的備忘錄也無法抵禦一個懸賞緝拿海外民主活動人士的政府。 我們歡迎這項立法，它遵循了國會在天安門事件後樹立的先例：設立一個封閉的團體，提供一年的申請期限，並明確獲得永久居留權的途徑。

「長期以來，兩黨國會議員一直是支持中國和香港自由與人權的中堅力量。如今，在美國紮根的香港人卻面臨著被遣返回可能遭受政治迫害的地方的困境。由民主黨政府批准、共和黨政府執行的《暫緩強制離境法》將於2027年2月5日到期，且無法保證會續簽。一提前。旦失效，成千上萬的人將失去免遭遣返的保護和工作能力 。

「自2021年8月以來，數千名香港人根據暫緩強制離境計劃合法居留美國，並在美國生活、工作，為美國社會做出貢獻。由於他們曾參與民主活動，許多人一旦被迫返回家園將面臨迫在眉睫的危險。他們珍視自由和人權，因為他們親眼目睹了中國共產黨如何蠶食他們所保護的價值觀。他們的這項計劃曾兩次擴大和延長，但其初衷始終是作為一項臨時行政措施，直至立法建立切實可行的永久性 人道主義 途徑 。

Washington, D.C. – Today, Oregon’s U.S. Senator Jeff Merkley and U.S. Representative James P. McGovern (MA-02)—Ranking Members of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC)—announced the Hong Konger Promise of Refuge Act, new legislation to provide protections for Hong Kong residents who have fled persecution and are living in the United States.

Since 2021, Hong Kong residents have been protected from deportation under the Deferred Enforced Departure (DED) program; however, the program is set to expire in early 2027. Merkley and McGovern’s bill would allow certain Hong Kong residents in America to apply for U.S. lawful permanent resident status and ultimately U.S. citizenship, rather than be forced to return to the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

 “As the PRC and Hong Kong authorities continue to undermine the fundamental rights and freedoms of Hong Kongers, the United States must protect Hong Kong residents who have sought refuge in America,” said Merkley. “The PRC’s erosion of autonomy, rule of law, and civil liberties in Hong Kong and the political persecution of those who were brave enough to speak out in dissent mean that America cannot just abandon Hong Kongers who sought refuge here. Congress must take action and enact our legislation to ensure Hong Kongers residing in the U.S. do not have to fear deportation.”

“Hong Kongers have found safe harbor in the United States under DED, and we should continue to protect them from being deported back to danger in Hong Kong,” said McGovern. “I urge President Trump to extend DED, but if he does not, Congress should pass our bill. Providing refuge to Hong Kongers used to have bipartisan support, including from then-Senator Marco Rubio. Now, the Trump-Rubio Administration is working to send people back to persecution under the Chinese Communist Party they once said they opposed. We should not be complicit in such human rights violations. The U.S. must extend DED now.”

Merkley and McGovern have led the charge to stand up for the rights of Hong Kongers and protect Hong Kong residents living in America from deportation. They have also highlighted the case of Jimmy Lai and other pro-democracy advocates who have been the targets of the Chinese and Hong Kong governments’ coordinated repression of free speech and democracy. 

The Hong Konger Promise of Refuge Act is supported by Hong Kong Watch, Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong (CFHK) Foundation, and Hong Kong Democracy Council.

“Hongkongers living in the United States were given protection because of a crackdown this country has condemned for seven years, and they are now being arrested despite that protection. Deferred Enforced Departure was never meant to be permanent, and a memorandum that expires in February is no safeguard against a government that puts bounties on pro-democracy activists abroad. We welcome this legislation, which follows the precedent Congress set after Tiananmen: a closed group, a one-year window to apply, and a real path to permanent status. Congress should pass it without delay,”said Ray Wong, Policy and Strategy Advisor for Hong Kong Watch.

“Members of Congress from both parties have long been the bedrock of support for freedom and human rights in China and Hong Kong. Now, Hongkongers who have built lives in the United States face the prospect of being sent back to a place where they could face political persecution. Deferred Enforced Departure, which was granted by a Democratic administration and implemented by a Republican one, is set to expire on February 5, 2027, and there is no guarantee it will be renewed. If it lapses, thousands of people will lose their protection from removal and their ability to work. It is time for Congress to stand up for freedom and human rights and pass this legislation in 2026 so that Hongkongers are not forced back into the hands of an authoritarian regime. Time is short, and action is necessary,” said Jonathan Stivers, U.S. Director, Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong (CFHK) Foundation.

“Since August 2021, thousands of Hong Kongers have lived, worked, and contributed to American life while lawfully present under Deferred Enforced Departure. Many face immediate danger if forced to return home due to their record of pro-democracy activism. They cherish freedom and human rights because they have seen the Chinese Communist Party chipping away at the values they hold dear firsthand. The program that now protects them was twice expanded and extended, but it was always meant as a stopgap executive measure until legislation establishing viable, permanent humanitarian pathways. While previous efforts have faltered, the Hong Konger Promise of Refuge Act is an important step in the right direction that can eliminate uncertainties clouding the future of a community already in the United States,” said the Hong Kong Democracy Council.
