Brief by Shorts91NewsDesk / 02:36pm on 13 Apr 2025,Sunday International

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has issued a strict 30-day deadline for undocumented foreign nationals to self-deport or face severe penalties, including daily fines up to $998, imprisonment, and permanent immigration bans.

This enforcement aligns with former President Trump’s immigration stance and has triggered debate over its humanitarian and legal implications, especially among immigrant communities and advocacy groups.
