In a significant reversal, the Trump administration announced it has withdrawn fines for undocumented immigrants seeking refuge in churches across the country, Franco Ordoñez reports for NPR. ICE had previously issued fines ranging from $300,000 to $500,000 to immigrants for “failing to depart the U.S. as previously agreed.” Attorney Lizbeth Mateo is now calling on ICE to reverse its position toward these immigrants: “ICE has demonstrated with this that they have the power to exercise discretion – the same way they can use discretion to drop these finds, they can use it to release sanctuary families.”
