The Trump Administration Is Sending Fines to Illegal Immigrants Who Refuse to Leave the US
The Trump administration is slapping fines on illegal immigrants who are ignoring court orders to leave the U.S.—one of them totals nearly half a million dollars.
“It is the intention of [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] to order you pay a fine in the amount of $497,777,” read a June 25 ICE letter to Edith Espinal Moreno, a woman who has remained in Ohio despite an immigration judge ruling two years ago that she must leave. NPR first reported on the letter.
An ICE spokesperson confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation the agency is sending these notices to illegal immigrants.

oh come on you fine some one who can not pay so you have to send them to prison and then you have to feed them , give them a bed and three meals a day . this is not a punishment .
i have said this time after time , a fine is just another way of raising revenue , if you fine some one for being poor all you are doing is to make them poorer it is ilogical , and it is not just the US it is every where

The majority of these people receiving fines are people who've overstayed their visas.

Be nice, they're leftists after all.
Thoughts beyond "orange man bad" are beyond their abilities.
You wouldn't scold a puppy for not being able to add would you?

No silly... you deport them if they do not pay the fines.
Keep up.

Simply prevent them from accessing any path to citizenship while fines are outstanding.
