South Florida Woman Faces $1.8 Million ICE Fine: Mercy Plea Amidst Deportation Debate
A Honduran mother of three U.S. citizen children faces a $1.82 million fine from ICE for remaining in the U.S. after a 2005 deportation order. The fine, calculated at $500 per day since the order, stems from the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. Her attorney argues the fine is excessive and unfair, citing a lack of proper notification and her client’s eligibility for residency based on long-term residence and family ties. An appeal is planned, challenging both the fine and the denial of a motion to reopen her case.
