US Border Patrol to charge illegal migrants with $5K ‘apprehension fee’
The $5,000 fee, authorized by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, targets migrants 14 and older apprehended after illegal entry and may bar future legal re-entry if unpaid, DHS said.
- On Thursday, U.S. Border Patrol Chief Michael Banks announced a $5,000 apprehension fee for individuals age 14 and older after unlawful entry, applying to those taken into custody.
- The fee originates from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act , passed earlier this year by the GOP-controlled Congress.
- Critics say the apprehension fee 'appears unlawful' and is likely to face court challenges.
- Agency statistics indicate November nationwide encounters totaled 30,367 and combined October–November encounters reached 60,940, while DHS reports more than 600,000 deportations and about 1.9 million voluntary departures.
