U.S. to Impose $998 Daily Fines on Migrants Who Refuse Deportation
The administration plans retroactive penalties and possible property confiscation.
The U.S. government is considering introducing a daily fine of $998 for migrants who have received a deportation order but fail to leave the country within the designated period, Reuters reports, citing internal government documents.
According to the source, fines may be applied retroactively — up to five years — which in some cases could lead to total penalties exceeding $1 million. In cases of non-payment, authorities reserve the right to confiscate property from violators.
Experts say the measure is aimed at tightening immigration policy and increasing pressure on undocumented migrants who ignore deportation orders.
At present, the government has not specified how debt will be calculated or how fines will be enforced, but the policy is expected to affect thousands of individuals without valid immigration status in the U.S.
Human rights groups have already expressed concern, calling the proposal excessive and disproportionate, particularly given the social vulnerability of many migrants. They warn of potential mass lawsuits and constitutional challenges.
While there is no official confirmation yet from the White House, relevant agencies are reportedly in active discussions on how to implement the policy.
