The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump plans to impose fines on immigrants subject to deportation orders of up to $998 per day if they fail to leave the United States, and seize their property if they do not pay, according to documents reviewed by Reuters.
📌These fines are based on a law enacted in 1996 and were first applied in 2018 during Trump's first presidential term. The Trump administration intends to apply the penalties retroactively for up to 5 years, which could lead to fines exceeding one million dollars, according to a senior Trump administration official who requested anonymity to discuss undisclosed plans.
