Biden Admin Stops Fining Illegal Aliens Who Refuse to Leave America and Cancels Their Debts
The Biden administration has stopped fining illegal aliens who refuse to leave the United States — and is cancelling all previous incurred debts.
The Department of Homeland Security announced the changes on Friday.
Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, in 2018, former President Donald Trump had required the government to issue fines of up to $500 per day to the aliens who refused to leave.
Breitbart News reports that in some cases, illegal aliens racked up fines of close to $500,000 for violating federal immigration law.
DHS had apparently stopped issuing the fines on January 20, but did not publicly announce it until this week. The department claimed that the policy is not effective in deterring illegal immigration.
