ICE abolishes huge fines for illegal hiding in churches

The U.S. Immigration Service (ICE) abolished a fine of nearly half a million dollars against Edith Espinal, an undocumented immigrant who lived in a church in Columbus, Ohio, to avoid deportation. Writes about this CNN.

The ICE also abolished fines for six other women who lived in churches across the country to avoid deportation.

Since December 2018, following an order from U.S. President Donald Trump issued a year earlier stating that the agency should start levying fines on illegal immigrants in the U.S., ICE sends migrants a notification of intent to fine them.

Richard Rocha, an ICE spokesman, said Espinal and other immigrants are still breaking the law.

“These individuals are subject to deportation, and they remain in the United States and break the law,” he said. “ICE will enforce these deportation orders using any means available and reserves the right to reconsider penalties.” ICE will continue to use fines as an enforcement tool as mandated by Congress.”

The letters from the US Immigration Service indicated that “in accordance with applicable regulations, the ICE withdraws the fine.”

“We knew these exorbitant fines were illegal and nothing more than a tool to intimidate our clients and retaliate against them for resisting and opposing this administration,” said Lizbeth Mateo, Espinal’s lawyer.

As ForumDaily wrote earlier:

  • Immigrants hide from deportation to religious institutions, since immigration officers usually do not carry out arrests and other coercive activities there. For that illegal fines face huge fines.
