Summary
The Trump administration is ramping up its efforts to encourage self-deportation among unauthorized immigrants by offering a $1,000 incentive through the CBP Home app. Announced recently by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), those who voluntarily report their intent to leave the U.S. using the app will receive travel assistance, with the payment confirmed post-return to their home country. Secretary Kristi Noem emphasized the approach as cost-effective and safe, potentially reducing deportation costs by up to 70%. Critics warn of legal traps and highlight concerns about the push for mass deportations amidst stagnant overall deportation numbers.
