Trump plans to impose a $998 fine per day on immigrants who do not obey deportation orders and do not leave the US. This was reported by the Reuters news agency.
It is noted that these measures are a law adopted in 1996, but rarely applied. Fines can also be applied back five years, and in some cases, the total amount of the fine may exceed 1 million.
If migrants do not pay fines, their property will be confiscated. The Trump administration is demanding that migrants leave the country voluntarily through a special mobile application. Otherwise, they may face severe financial penalties.
Experts note that such measures have a serious impact on migrant families, especially on low-income segments of the population. At the same time, those who criticize this policy say that the government's true goal is not to enforce the law, but to increase fear.
