## What this funds

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) levies Immigration Enforcement Fines (IEF) against foreign nationals for failure to depart the United States if so ordered. CBP imposes fines on carriers that violate U.S. immigration law when transporting passengers to the United States. These fines fund enforcement activities under Title 8 of the U.S. Code, including identifying, investigating, apprehending, detaining, and removing criminal aliens.
