South Florida woman facing $1.8 million ICE fine speaks out: "Please have mercy"
A South Florida woman who has lived in the U.S. for two decades is now facing a staggering $1.82 million fine from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for failing to leave the country after receiving a removal order in 2005, according to the federal agency.
The woman, a 41-year-old mother of three U.S. citizens, asked CBS News Miami to be identified only as "Maria" out of fear for her safety.
Originally from Honduras, Maria said she lives with anxiety every day and struggles to sleep after receiving the notice from ICE's civil fines department.
