Overview

• The Trump administration has signed an executive order offering free flights and $1,000 cash to undocumented immigrants who voluntarily leave the U.S.
• This move comes as the Supreme Court has yet to rule on the administration's request to end legal status for 532,000 migrants from four countries under a Biden-era humanitarian program.
• A federal judge in Boston previously blocked the program's termination, citing legal protections for those admitted under government programs.
• White House officials have threatened to suspend habeas corpus rights for immigrants if courts continue to impede mass expulsion efforts.
• The Department of Homeland Security claims the voluntary departure program could reduce expulsion costs by approximately 70%.
