In the south of the USA, the authorities introduced a reward — 1 thousand dollars for the capture of an illegal migrant

In the US state of Mississippi, a "Certified Bounty Hunter Program" was proposed, according to which detectives would be officially registered and receive $ 1 thousand for each successful deportation of an illegal immigrant. This was announced on January 24 by the office of the prosecutor of the District of Desoto Matthew Barton.

"The bill is intended to allow certified bounty hunters to help identify and report illegal immigrants, which will ultimately help accelerate deportation efforts in line with the immigration priorities of the administration (of US President Donald) Trump," the statement said.

In addition, it is reported that the monetary reward is designed to encourage cooperation between law enforcement agencies and individuals in the search for illegal migrants in Mississippi. This decision was made in order to ease the burden on the taxpayers of the state, as it has significant expenses in this area.
