The U.S. initiated its voluntary deportation program, returning 68 immigrants to Honduras and Colombia on a government-funded flight. Among those returned were 38 Hondurans, including 19 children, who received $1,000 debit cards and the chance to apply for future legal entry to the U.S. Analysts indicate that such self-deportation offers may attract a limited number of returnees. Migrant Kevin Antonio Posadas shared his positive experience with the process, highlighting its ease and the relief of avoiding flight costs for those intending to return home.
"I wanted to see my family and my mom, the process was easy. You just apply through the CBP Home app and in three days you've got it."
"It's good because you save the cost of the flight if you have the intention of leaving."
"Experts believe the self-deportation offer will only appeal to a small portion of migrants already considering return, but unlikely to spur high demand."
"If you are here illegally, use the CBP Home app to apply for this opportunity."
