Fox News: Trump admin unveils plan costing migrants massive fine for every day they don't self-deport
The Trump administration is set to impose fines of $998 per day on illegal immigrants who do not leave the U.S. after receiving a deportation order. This penalty, based on a 1996 law, could be applied retroactively for up to five years, potentially exceeding $1 million in fines.
Illegal immigrants are encouraged to use the CBP Home app for self-deportation to avoid these penalties. Benefits of self-deporting include retaining earned money and maintaining eligibility for future legal immigration. Failure to comply may result in apprehension, fines, and prohibition from reentering the U.S.

Forbes: Trump’s Tariffs: Coming To Your Medicine Cabinet Soon
President Trump's recent tariffs on imports, including a baseline of 10% and higher rates on specific countries, may lead to increased prescription drug prices in the U.S. While pharmaceuticals are currently exempt, future tariffs could significantly impact the cost of both generic and brand-name medications.
Generic drug manufacturers, heavily reliant on low profit margins, may reconsider their market presence due to rising costs. This could particularly affect the availability of affordable medications for millions of Americans who depend on them. The tariffs could also stifle innovation in the pharmaceutical industry, making it harder for startups to compete and potentially leading to a less diverse market.
