Trump’s New Penalty for Undocumented Immigrants: Billions of Dollars in Fines

Trump’s New Penalty for Undocumented Immigrants: Billions of Dollars in Fines
The Trump administration is rolling out a new policy that would impose billions in fines on undocumented immigrants as part of a broader push to pressure them into leaving the U.S. voluntarily. Alongside existing measures like offering free flights and cash stipends, these hefty financial penalties aim to make life so difficult that migrants choose to "self-deport."
Editor’s Note: This isn't just another headline—it's a major escalation in the administration's hardline approach to immigration. Fining undocumented immigrants billions collectively could have ripple effects, from deepening fear in migrant communities to sparking legal challenges. Whether you see it as tough enforcement or undue cruelty, it’s a policy that could reshape lives and the political debate around immigration.

How Electric Vehicles are Targeted by the Republican Policy Bill
negativeTop Stories
The Republican tax bill might put the brakes on electric vehicle (EV) sales by changing key incentives.
