Trump and the fines on immigrants who are no longer in the US
The Trump administration will seek to collect nearly €367 million in fines from immigrants who have already left the United States, according to the newspaper Gaceta. The report, published on 7 August, suggests that the US executive is now beginning a collection process targeting people who are no longer on the country's territory.
The figure of €367 million is not a campaign round-up but a specific amount that suggests a detailed administrative calculation. The fact that the fines are directed at people who have already left the US raises questions about enforcement mechanisms and applicable jurisdiction, although the outlet does not detail either the specific legal procedure or the expected timeline for collection.
According to the report, this is an intention or the start of a collection process, not a collection already completed. Gaceta attributes no direct quotes to any administration official, and the story has not yet been corroborated by other outlets.
Information awaiting corroboration
Gaceta's report is, for now, the sole source of this information. It has been neither confirmed nor denied by other outlets, and the publication cites no official documents or spokesman statements to back the exact figure.
Nor does it specify what type of fines make up the amount, how many people are affected, or since when the sums have been accruing. The absence of these details makes it impossible to independently verify the scope of the measure.
This newspaper publishes the information as disseminated by Gaceta, pending confirmation or qualification by other sources. Any discrepancy between news reports, where it exists, will be covered as a story in its own right.
