The Trump administration introduced a proposal that would triple some fees for immigration court filings.
The move would make it more expensive to file certain forms like those to appeal rulings and, as a result, likely pose a challenge to immigrants seeking relief. Increased fees might also deter immigrants from appealing their deportation cases. For example, a form to appeal a decision of an immigration judge costs $110. The administration proposes an increase that would make that form $975.
Last November, the administration also proposed a charge on asylum applications -- the first time the US government has charged for the form -- as well as an 83% fee increase for the naturalization form.Read MoreWhat to know about the rule that could reshape legal immigrationThe latest proposed changes come from the Justice Department's Executive Office for Immigration Review.
