Immigrants face significant financial penalties for remaining in the country after being ordered to leave. A notable case involves a fine of $1.8 million. This amount was imposed on an individual who ignored a deportation order issued over two decades ago.

The process of imposing these fines involves private companies. They are contracted by the government and also collect fees from the immigrants.

Further information on this practice is available, including details on how the system works and its impact on those affected.
