Trump Administration Escalates Immigration Enforcement with Billions in Fines and Lawsuits

The Trump administration has intensified its enforcement efforts against immigrants who have overstayed deportation orders. This includes issuing more than 65,000 fines, collectively exceeding $36 billion, with some individual penalties reaching $1.8 million. The Department of Justice has also filed over 50 civil lawsuits in federal courts to recover these substantial debts, indicating a significant shift in federal immigration policy.
