The Trump administration plans to offer $1,000 to undocumented immigrants who voluntarily return to their home countries, as part of a broader effort to enforce mass deportations. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) promotes self-deportation as a more cost-effective and safer alternative to arrest and detention, citing an average deportation cost of $17,000. This initiative involves the use of the CBP Home App, which allows individuals to declare their intention to leave, thus deprioritizing them for removal proceedings. Despite aggressive promises, Trump's deportation rates have not matched those of Biden's administration during the same time frame.
The Trump administration is offering undocumented immigrants $1,000 to leave the U.S. voluntarily, promoting self-deportation as a safer, cost-effective alternative to mass deportations.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem stated that self-deportation is the best option for illegal aliens to avoid arrest, with the plan costing significantly less than traditional deportations.
Despite Trump's pledge to deport millions, the administration has seen lower deportation numbers compared to Biden's, with 152,000 deported since January.
The CBP Home App allows people to inform the government of their return plans, deprioritizing them for detention and removal, making the voluntary exit process smoother.
