The Trump administration has introduced a financial incentive for migrants to self-deport, offering $1,000 through the CBP Home App, which was initially designed for asylum requests. The initiative aims to reduce government expenditure on immigration enforcement, which costs approximately $17,121 per detainment process. With immigration detention capacities at their limit, the administration has rebranded the app to encourage quick departures. Despite over 7,000 uses of the app, immigrant advocates remain skeptical, citing concerns about the feasibility of receiving the incentives and the implications for future legal status.
The Trump administration's $1,000 incentive for migrants to self-deport via the CBP Home App underscores a shift in immigration policy towards expedited removals.
Immigration advocates express skepticism about the $1,000 incentive, suggesting that fear of not being able to apply for legal status deters many from accepting the offer.
