Trump Administration Launches $1,000 Self-Deportation Incentive Program

The program offers undocumented migrants financial and travel assistance through the CBP Home App, aiming to reduce deportation costs by 70%.

Overview

  • Migrants who self-deport using the CBP Home App will receive $1,000 after their return is confirmed, along with paid travel expenses.
  • The Department of Homeland Security projects the program will cut deportation costs from $17,121 to approximately $4,500 per person.
  • Participants who declare their intent to leave are deprioritized for detention and removal by immigration enforcement.
  • The CBP Home App, repurposed from the Biden-era CBP One App, facilitates the program as part of President Trump’s broader immigration enforcement agenda.
  • The first beneficiary, a Honduran migrant, has already used the program, with additional flights scheduled in the coming weeks.
