DHS Fines Mexico Resident Hector Negrete $1.8 Million for Ignoring Deportation Order
The civil penalty stems from a 2009 deportation order and is among more than 100,000 fines issued under the Trump administration, CNN reported.
- Nine months after relocating to Mexico in September 2025, Hector Alessandro Negrete received a $1,820,352 civil penalty notice from the Department of Homeland Security for failing to comply with a 2009 deportation order.
- Since President Donald Trump's second administration began, DHS has issued fines to more than 100,000 undocumented immigrants totaling over $84 billion, with officials warning those with final removal orders face $998 daily penalties.
- Public Justice attorney Charles Moore argues the government is "weaponizing these fines to terrorize families." An August report from the New York University School of Law found about 70% of penalized clients were pursuing lawful status.
- Negrete and his attorney Marissa Montes are contesting the fine by providing evidence of his Mexico residence; however, Negrete fears the government could garnish his US-sourced income during litigation.
- Federal authorities maintain the fine program is lawful under statutes passed nearly 30 years ago, yet more than 50 lawsuits now challenge the enforcement, leaving recipients like Negrete uncertain about long-term financial security.
