The Department of Homeland Security announced a partnership with the Department of Justice that will make it "easier and more efficient" to fine undocumented migrants who fail to self-deport.
The new rule gets rid of the 30-day period of notice of the intent to fine requirement before a fine is issued. Now, the announcement said, DHS immigration officers are authorized to send fines to undocumented migrants by regular mail, shortening the process that applies if migrants contest their files.
