Overview

• President Trump announced a self-deportation initiative requiring undocumented immigrants to leave the U.S. within 60 days to qualify for legal reentry.
• The policy includes provisions for farmers and employers to recommend specific workers for delayed deportation and eventual legal return.
• Over 5,000 undocumented immigrants have already self-deported using the administration's CBP Home app, according to Homeland Security data.
• Critics argue the policy functions as a 'guestworker amnesty,' potentially undermining labor standards and employer accountability.
• The administration emphasizes the plan's goal of addressing labor shortages in agriculture and hospitality while enforcing immigration laws.
