A rescinded order carries no fee, and half is kept by enforcement

What the document says
“The fee described in this section shall not apply to any alien who was ordered removed in absentia if such order was rescinded pursuant to section 240(b)(5)(C) (8 U.S.C. 1229a(b)(5)(C)).”
The section lets off an alien whose in absentia removal order was rescinded under section 240(b)(5)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Half the fees are credited to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, deposited into the Detention and Removal Office Fee Account and kept and spent without further appropriation, with the rest going into the general fund of the Treasury. The fee may not be waived or reduced.
What the document actually says
“The fee described in this section shall not apply to any alien who was ordered removed in absentia if such order was rescinded pursuant to section 240(b)(5)(C) (8 U.S.C. 1229a(b)(5)(C)).”
That sentence, in plain words
The fee does not reach one group. Their removal order was taken back. An older rule says how that is done.
What this is about
Half the money goes to immigration enforcement. It sits in a named fee account. The rest goes to the Treasury.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
