Trump Plans to Fine Undocumented Migrants $1M+—And Seize Their Homes

The Trump administration just announced a plan to fine undocumented migrants $998 per day if they don’t “self-deport”—and yes, they’re applying it retroactively up to five years.

That means some could face fines over $1 million, even if they’ve:

Paid taxes

Held jobs

Never committed a crime

Simply existed without papers

And if they can’t pay? The administration is floating the idea of seizing their homes, land, and property.

Let that sink in.

People who’ve built lives here—worked, paid into the system, committed no crimes—could lose everything because they didn’t leave fast enough.

This isn’t immigration policy.

It’s economic warfare—a calculated plan to financially destroy entire families.

According to Reuters, this is one of the most extraordinary and aggressive escalations in immigration enforcement ever proposed—and it’s being pushed without clear guidelines or limits on who qualifies as “illegal” or how the fines will be enforced.

This isn't about protecting borders.

This is about punishment, cruelty, and fear.

And if you think this ends with undocumented immigrants, think again. When the government figures out it can shake people down retroactively for who they are—no one is safe.
