The Trump administration is considering tripling the amount some immigrants are fined if they miss court hearings and are later deported.
According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the amount immigrants currently pay is not enough to cover the cost of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents locating, detaining and deporting them.
The proposed change comes amid a sharp rise in people failing to appear for immigration court hearings, which experts say is a result of multiple factors, including fear of detention.
"The move to 18K for in absentia orders, where it is not clear if the recipient even knew about the hearing is extreme," Claire Trickler-McNulty, a former senior ICE official, told Newsweek. "To add these fees, while Congress is debating giving ICE billions of dollars more for enforcement against people who have been working in the U.S. for decades and may even have relief available, makes no sense and continues to criminalize and bankrupt our neighbors."
The Trump administration argues in the proposal that the higher fee could:
- Deter people from skipping court hearings
- Encourage compliance with removal orders
- Reduce strain on enforcement resources
New Deportation Fine: What to Know
The new fine would apply to immigrants who are given a Notice to Appear (NTA) in immigration court, which automatically places them in removal proceedings, and who fail to appear at that hearing.

Will he take EBT?
Redundant organ confiscation, instead.
Charge any ngo or charity that was involved in bringing them here…
Also charge them for any social services rec’d illegally.
I have said this a thousand times to myself: why bother going through all these steps to get them to self deport when all you gotta do is just find any money accounts of illegals and immediately lock them/shut them down, literally make them broke and starving so they will move back
As long as they are enabled they are not going to leave. All the bennies for their anchor babies, bank accounts, ability to wire their money back home, etc., etc. It is too advantageous for them to stay.
How would these illegals even have 18k to pay their fine?
So far I haven’t seen any NGO face any consequence. They are untouchable just like the fraud daycare centers in Minneapolis like the Learing Center.
Give the fine to the companies that hire them
And how is he going to collect that kind of money?
From their stolen goods sales.
I’d cut off ALL bennies for illegals stat. As you say, they won’t hang around if they’re not getting freebies.

Yep. Cut off all the welfare and fine them for being here.
NGO’s and those that hire illegals need to be be punished and we see none of that.
I wonder why CONgress is ok with them not getting punished? Rhetorical question.
It is never even mentioned. That whole bunch are worthless, greedy snakes.
They can get out the same way they got in.
I have been saying for years that we should seize and sell all properties held by illegals to pay for the cost of deporting them.
Use the RICO law for profits from illegal enterprises, since everything they make in the US is from illegal means.
