Trump admin unveils plan costing migrants massive fine for every day they don't self-deport

The Trump administration is planning to issue a daily fine of nearly $1,000 to illegal immigrants who do not self-deport after receiving final orders to leave the country.

The administration could also seize property from illegal immigrants who fail to pay the stiff penalty, the report noted.

A flyer provided to Fox News Digital shows the "benefits" and "consequences" for illegal immigrants who fail to self-deport via the CBP Home app.

"Self-deportation is safe," the flyer reads. "Leave on your own terms by picking your departure flight."

The flyer also spells out the potential fines, including the $998 per day fine for failing to comply with final removal orders and a fine of $1,000 - $5,000 for failing to self-deport after "claiming that you will."

"If you fail to self-deport, you may be subject to jail time," the flyer concludes, adding that illegal immigrants would also later be "prohibited from reentering the U.S. through the legal immigration system."
