Donald Trump has just ordered one million people to leave the U.S. ‘immediately.’

The Trump administration has launched one of its most aggressive immigration enforcement efforts yet, calling for the immediate departure of more than one million migrants currently under deportation orders.

The announcement, made this week, includes steep daily fines for noncompliance and the potential seizure of personal property from those who fail to leave the country as directed.

According to documents reviewed by Reuters, individuals who remain in the U.S. after receiving a final deportation order could face penalties of up to $998 per day.

The fines stem from a 1996 immigration law that was largely dormant until it was revived during Donald Trump’s first term.

Now, his administration plans to apply these penalties retroactively up to five years, potentially resulting in fines exceeding $1 million per person in some cases.

In addition to financial penalties, migrants who do not comply may also risk having their assets seized by the federal government.

Internal communications obtained by Reuters reveal that the White House is considering using the Department of Justice’s civil asset forfeiture division to manage these seizures.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have also been involved in discussions about overseeing the implementation of the penalties and related enforcement actions.

A key focus of the new directive is on migrants who entered the U.S. using the Biden-era CBP One app.

The app allowed nearly one million individuals to legally enter and remain in the country temporarily under humanitarian parole, with work authorization granted for up to two years.

However, the Trump administration has now terminated these paroles, instructing recipients to ‘self-deport’ through the rebranded version of the app, now called CBP Home.

“Canceling these paroles is a promise kept to the American people,” said a spokesperson from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), led by Kristi Noem, Mail Online reports.

“If they don’t [leave], they will face the consequences.”

The DHS issued termination notices but has not disclosed the exact number of affected individuals.

Advocates say the policy disproportionately impacts vulnerable families in mixed-status households – where undocumented migrants live alongside U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

Legal experts and immigrant rights groups are already pushing back, arguing that the administration’s approach is more about instilling fear than enforcing the law.

“This is designed to intimidate, not to manage immigration responsibly,” said Scott Shuchart, a former DHS official under President Biden.

While implementation of the fine system may face logistical challenges – CBP would reportedly need to hire thousands of additional staff to manage the process—the Trump administration appears determined to press forward.

With over 1.6 million migrants currently facing deportation orders, the administration’s message is clear: leave the country now, or pay the price.
