Undocumented Immigrant Hit with $2 Million Fine: A Fight for Due Process

Millions in Fines for Undocumented Immigrant: A Honduran woman living in the US has been hit with a nearly $2 million fine for failing to leave the country following a deportation order. This case highlights the controversial reactivation of a law dating back to 1952, which allows for daily fines against undocumented immigrants. The woman, identified only as Maria, claims she never received notification of her court date. "In no moment did any documents arrive," she stated tearfully in an interview. Her lawyer, Michelle Sanchez, is challenging the fine, pointing to the lack of notification as a key flaw in the case. "They're supposed to state the date in which she was notified," Sanchez explained, showing the blank space on the official document. The case raises questions about due process and the implications of the reactivated law under the Trump administration.
