The court took the rare step of taking up the case directly from a trial court in New York before an appeals court had weighed in.

U.S. District Judge George Hazel said in a conference call on Wednesday with lawyers on both sides of the case that he was becoming increasingly frustrated with the mixed signals the administration was sending, first telling him on Tuesday that the question was off and then Trump tweeting the next day that the administration was \"absolutely moving forward\" with efforts to include the question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hazel is one of three federal judges who blocked the Trump administration from adding a citizenship question to the 2020 census.

The court took the rare step of taking up the case directly from a trial court in New York before an appeals court had weighed in. As recently as June 20, Solicitor General Noel Francisco reminded the justices of the need for a quick decision, writing that \"for all practical purposes, the Census Bureau needs to finalize the 2020 questionnaire by June of this year.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration had said the question was being added to aid in enforcement of the Voting Rights Act, which protects minority voters' access to the ballot box.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the question's opponents say recently discovered evidence from the computer files of a Republican redistricting consultant who died last year shows that, far from helping minority voters, discrimination against Hispanics was behind the push for the citizenship question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hazel is considering reopening the Maryland case to take account of the new evidence, which could provide a separate basis for blocking the citizenship question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post has been updated.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

President Trump said Monday, while signing legislation providing $4.6 billion in funding to address the influx of migrants from Central America, that the immigration raids will begin after the July 4 holiday unless Congress can pass new restrictions on asylum laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the beginning of his term, Trump signed an \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/executive-order-enhancing-public-safety-interior-united-states/\">executive order promising\u003c/a>, \"as soon as practicable, and by no later than one year after the date of this order,\" that the administration would begin collection of \"all fines and penalties that the Secretary is authorized under the law to assess and collect from aliens unlawfully present in the United States.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE said the \u003ca href=\"https://www.uscis.gov/legal-resources/immigration-and-nationality-act\">Immigration and Nationality Act\u003c/a> grants the agency the right to impose \"civil fines on aliens who have been ordered removed or granted voluntary departure and fail to depart the United States.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It states fines of no more \u003ca href=\"http://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title8-section1324d&num=0&edition=prelim\">than $500 for each day the person is in violation of this section\u003c/a>. But immigration lawyers say they've never heard of it used in this manner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='immigration' label='Related Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An ICE official said undocumented immigrants who willfully refuse to meet the obligations of an order issued by the Justice Department's Executive Office for Immigration Review may receive a \"Notice of Intention to Fine\" and then are subsequently provided a 30-day period to respond before a formal decision whether to issue a fine is made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ICE officials said the agency began issuing these notices in December 2018 on a case-by-case basis, taking into account steps the individual has taken to fulfill the court's orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"ICE is committed to using various enforcement methods — including arrest, detention, technological monitoring and financial penalties — to enforce U.S. immigration law and maintain the integrity of legal orders issued by judges,\" ICE spokesman Matthew Bourke told NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pro-immigrant advocates argue the Trump administration is trying to instill fear and confusion in immigrant communities, expecting the immigrants will leave. They report similar letters being received by immigrants in similar situations in North Carolina, Utah, Virginia and Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Espinal, 42, said she could not believe the U.S. government thought she would have almost half a million dollars. She has been living in sanctuary at an Ohio church since an immigration judge ordered her removed two years ago. The church, its congregation and the community have largely supported her and her family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They want to scare me,\" Espinal said \"because they know I am in sanctuary. And they know I don't have this amount of money.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Espinal said she came to the United States from Mexico with her father when she was 16. She now has three children of her own, including two who are U.S. citizens. She said her whole life is in the United States and she cannot return to Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leon Fresco, who served as deputy assistant attorney general for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/civil/office-immigration-litigation\">Office of Immigration Litigation \u003c/a>in the Obama administration, said he could not recall a time when such high fines were used during the previous administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's a vivid illustration of the lengths the Trump administration will go to use any available authority to try to enforce immigration law,\" Fresco said. \"I have not seen a $300,000 fine for failing to facilitate one's own removal.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Espinal's attorney, Lizbeth Mateo, said she started laughing when she first saw the letter. She fears the administration is laying the groundwork for criminal penalties and could use fees in other ways to increase pressure on immigrants to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's almost half a million dollars. Are they for real? Do they really think that she's going to pay this?\" Mateo said. \"I laughed, because there has to be someone in some basement in D.C. thinking, 'Oh, what else can I do to mess with immigrants? What else can I do to hurt them?' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2019 NPR.
