    Judge Blocks Trump Admin's Massive Fines on Immigrants Who Fail to Depart

    A federal judge has temporarily halted the Trump administration's policy of imposing massive civil fines on immigrants who fail to leave the U.S. after receiving removal orders. Judge George O'Toole Jr. ruled that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) likely broke the law by imposing fines without checking if immigrants willfully ignored their orders. The judge also found that the agency violated the Administrative Procedure Act by skipping public comment. The ruling comes after two immigrants, Nancy M. and Maria L., faced fines of hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars despite complying with immigration orders.
