Illegal Alien Cries to the Media Over Her $1.8 Million Fine After Ignoring Removal Order [WATCH]

A Honduran national who has lived illegally in the United States for nearly two decades after defying a federal removal order is now facing more than $1.8 million in civil fines, according to documents issued by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Despite the lengthy violation, the woman has taken her case to the media in an apparent bid for public sympathy.

The woman, whose name has not been released publicly, entered the spotlight this month after receiving formal notification from ICE’s civil fines department on May 9, 2025.

The notice states that she owes $1,821,350 in penalties for failing to comply with a 2005 deportation order.

ICE calculated the fine at a rate of $500 per day for each day she remained in the country since the order was issued.

The original removal order was handed down in April 2005 after the woman failed to appear at a scheduled immigration court hearing.

Since then, she has resided in Florida and is now the mother of three children who were born in the United States.

This “South Florida woman” who entered the US illegally in 2005, ignored an order to leave the country, and failed to appear for her immigration hearing, is upset that she is now being fined $1.8 MILLION for breaking the law.

According to reporting from Newsweek, the woman’s legal representative, attorney Michelle Sanchez, filed a motion in 2024 to reopen the immigration case.

Sanchez argued that her client qualified for legal residency due to her extended presence in the country and clean criminal record.

That motion was denied in March 2025.

ICE rejected the petition on the grounds that no prosecutorial discretion guidelines had been issued by the Trump administration.

In recent months, immigration enforcement agencies have resumed more aggressive action against individuals with longstanding deportation orders, as the administration has prioritized enforcement of existing laws.

The woman’s case has gained attention not just for the amount of the fine but also for her decision to speak out to the press.

Critics have noted that despite spending nearly 20 years living in the United States, the woman appears to have made no effort to learn English, as evident from her public appearance through an interpreter.

Stephen Miller, President Trump’s White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, commented on the case and indicated that more cases like it are forthcoming.

Miller reaffirmed that those who defy deportation orders should expect consequences, including property seizure and fines.

The renewed focus on enforcement reflects a broader shift in immigration policy under the Trump administration.

ICE has signaled that cases involving ignored removal orders will be pursued more aggressively, with civil penalties now being used as an additional tool to compel compliance and penalize defiance.

Legal analysts note that while the woman’s U.S.-born children are citizens by birth, their status does not confer legal residency or protection from deportation to the mother.

The case is expected to serve as a precedent under the current enforcement framework.

As of now, ICE has not indicated any plan to forgive or reduce the fines, and the woman remains subject to removal.
