Breitbart: Trump Admin Planning $998 Fine Per Day for Migrants Who Fail to Self-Deport
The Trump administration is proposing a daily fine of $998 for illegal migrants who refuse to self-deport, potentially leading to property confiscation for non-payment. This policy mirrors a 2018 initiative that imposed hefty fines on certain migrants and is based on a 1996 law.
If implemented, the policy would require new systems for tracking and collecting fines, potentially increasing staffing needs. Reports indicate that some migrants are already seeking to return home, influenced by ongoing ICE operations and the termination of Biden's temporary status program for certain migrants.
