Trump Administration Launches CBP Home App for Voluntary Self-Deportation

The app offers illegal immigrants a chance to leave voluntarily with potential for legal re-entry, while warning of lifetime bans for non-compliance.

The CBP Home app allows individuals residing illegally in the U.S. to self-deport by submitting their intent to leave through a free mobile platform.
Those who self-deport voluntarily may have the opportunity to return legally in the future, according to the Trump administration.
Failure to use the app for voluntary departure will result in forcible removal and a lifetime ban on re-entry to the United States.
The app is a retooled version of the CBP One app, which was previously used under the Biden administration for asylum applications.
Critics have raised concerns about the app's impact on civil liberties and transparency, while the administration highlights its cost-saving benefits and efficiency.
