Trump Fines Migrants $998 a Day for Ignoring Deportation Orders

President Trump is unleashing a tough new immigration policy: Migrants with final deportation orders will face $998-a-day fines if they don’t self-deport — potentially totaling over $1 million per person. The rule, based on a 1996 law, is being revived to restore immigration enforcement. DHS says property seizure is also on the table for unpaid fines. Critics call it cruel. Trump calls it law and order. This bold move could impact 1.4 million people in the U.S. — and it’s just the beginning.
