The U.S. government is tightening regulations to deport illegal immigrants. The Department of Homeland Security has stated that foreign nationals living in the country for more than the allowed time must leave immediately. Foreign nationals who have been residing in the country for more than 30 days are required to register with the government; failure to do so will result in fines and imprisonment. The government has urged them to leave voluntarily to avoid such penalties.

The U.S. government has warned that those residing beyond the allowed 30 days will face a fine of $998 per day (approximately ₹85,924). After authorities are notified, if voluntary departure fails, they will be fined between $1,000 and $5,000 (approximately ₹86,000 to ₹4.30 lakh). Authorities have explained the benefits of voluntary departure, including the ability to select their flight and keep the money they earned in the U.S., provided they have no pending cases. If they can't afford the flight charges, they may be eligible for subsidized air services.

Foreign nationals aged 14 and above who have lived in the U.S. for over 30 days must register their details using Form G-325R. Those who arrived after April 11 of this year must complete their registration within 30 days. Failure to register may result in fines, imprisonment, or both. Moreover, if their address changes, they must inform authorities within 10 days, or a $5,000 fine will be imposed. Furthermore, foreign nationals must carry ID cards proving their legal status in the U.S. at all times. This new policy is part of the Trump administration's effort to identify and deport illegal immigrants, and it applies particularly to undocumented immigrants.
