US EditionTrump admin sues woman who failed to self-deport for nearly $1 million
The Trump administration is demanding nearly $1 million from a noncitizen under a 1996 law that allows civil penalties for willful failure to depart, amid dozens of similar lawsuits.
- Last week, the Justice Department filed a civil lawsuit against Ramirez Veliz, an individual and noncitizen residing in Chesterfield County, Virginia, seeking nearly $1 million, the highest penalty lawyers have seen among similar cases.
- A 1996 law passed under President Bill Clinton authorized civil penalties, and President Donald Trump signed an executive order last year to resume fines after Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas discontinued them.
- ICE's billing and collection data show that by August, 21,500 fines assessed over $6 billion were issued, yet only $4,215 was collected and 20 fines totaling almost $84,000 imposed.
- A federal lawsuit filed in Boston contends federal officials ignore the law's `willfully` requirement, while a November class action argues the fine mechanism denies due process and `railroads people's rights`. Efforts to contact Ramirez Veliz were unsuccessful.
- Many targets are immigrants seeking legal status, and advocates say the tactic aims to intimidate: `The sole point here is to intimidate and scare people into leaving the country.
