我收到政府通知，说我欠巨额民事罚款。这是真的吗？
有可能是真的。美国国土安全部（DHS）近期曾向部分被指在收到最终递解令（final removal order）后未按要求离境的个人开出高额民事罚款，个别案件的罚款金额甚至高达 1,820,352 美元。据 DHS 报告，在 2025 年 1 月 20 日至 2026 年 3 月 18 日期间，其共开出 65,101 份民事罚款通知，罚款总额超过 360 亿美元。
不要仅凭金额巨大就认定该通知一定是诈骗，也不要在未充分了解情况的情况下直接付款或作出回应。USCIS 长期提醒公众警惕冒充政府机构的诈骗行为，并建议仔细核实通知的真实性。
罚款的法律依据、金额的计算方式、相关违法行为是否属于故意（willful）行为，以及是否存在可供提出异议或申诉的程序，都可能对案件结果产生重要影响。收到此类通知后，应尽快请移民律师审查通知内容及回复期限，以免错过维护自身权利的机会。

If a civil immigration fine becomes a delinquent, legally enforceable federal debt, the government may use collection tools that include:
- Withholding certain federal payments, such as tax refunds
- Garnishing wages
- Referring the debt to a private collection agency
- In some cases, referring the debt for litigation
Federal administrative wage garnishment can generally reach up to 15% of disposable pay without a court judgment. The available collection measures and opportunities to challenge them depend on the status of the fine, so it is important to review the notice and available response procedures before the debt reaches the collection stage.
Yes. You can have an immigration attorney review your history before any notice arrives to understand whether you may be exposed to a civil fine, whether you have any available immigration options, and what to do if you receive a notice.
Bring any records you have relating to your immigration history, especially:
- Removal orders
- ICE notices
- Prior immigration filings
If a fine notice does arrive, have it reviewed promptly because the notice itself will state the alleged violation and applicable response procedures.
