The government can charge a fine in some cases about entry. This says how.
What the Rule Says It Does
This interim final rule ("IFR") amends existing DHS and DOJ regulations. It provides exclusive DHS procedures for the issuance of civil monetary penalties under the Immigration and Nationality Act for aliens who fail to depart voluntarily during the voluntary departure period, willfully fail or refuse to depart after a final removal order and certain other proscribed activities, or are apprehended while improperly entering or attempting to enter the United States. The IFR also transfers the appeals process for these penalties from DOJ's Board of Immigration Appeals to DHS.
This is the rule's own summary, as the Federal Register prints it.
The Orders It Names
- Executive Order 14150: America First Policy Directive to the Secretary of State
- Executive Order 14159: Protecting the American People Against Invasion
- Executive Order 14165: Securing Our Borders
The rule names these orders itself. What it does about them is a reading, and none is recorded here.
