Trump Admin Proposes $998 Daily Fines for Illegal Immigrants Who Refuse to Self-Deport

📝 DESCRIPTION
Trump fines illegal immigrants $998 per day under a revived policy aimed at enforcing final deportation orders. The Department of Homeland Security, under Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, announced that illegal immigrants must now self-deport using the CBP Home app—or face retroactive fines of nearly $1,000 per day, possibly totaling over $1 million for long-term overstays. A flyer from DHS outlines “benefits” for self-deportation, like keeping earned income and future eligibility for legal immigration, versus severe consequences, including property seizure and additional fines for failing to comply. The fines are based on a 1996 law Trump previously invoked during his first term. Critics argue the policy is draconian, while supporters view it as a powerful deterrent to illegal immigration and a reaffirmation of national sovereignty. With ICE and CBP now debating who enforces the fines, the policy could reshape the future of immigration enforcement. Will this crack down solve the crisis—or escalate it?
