Trump Admin Considers Making Illegals Pay for Their Deportation Appeals - theconservativeopinion.com

Excerpts from article:

...The Trump administration is considering a proposal that may make illegals think twice before appealing their deportation appeals.

...Per the NY Times, illegal immigrants who hope to challenge their deportation orders could be charged nearly $1,000 to go to court under a proposed new regulation unveiled Thursday, a nearly tenfold increase that immigration lawyers warn could make deportation appeals much more difficult to pursue.

...A new regulation being weighed by the Trump administration would increase the fees that illegal aliens would have to pay to appeal their deportation orders by federal immigration judges.

...Fees for illegal aliens to appeal their deportation orders, or reopen their cases, currently cost them about $100 to $110. Under the new regulation - which would be the first update to the fee amounts since 1986 - the cost to appeal deportation orders would run anywhere from $305 to $975. The increase in fees would ensure that illegal aliens, not American taxpayers, are covering the costs for their requests to appeal their deportation orders.
