Overview

• The CBP Home app replaces the Biden-era CBP One app, which previously facilitated asylum appointments for migrants at U.S. ports of entry.
• The new app includes a 'Submit Intent to Depart' feature, allowing undocumented immigrants to voluntarily report their plans to leave the United States.
• Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated that those who self-deport may have the opportunity to return legally in the future, while those forcibly deported face permanent bans.
• The app is part of a $200 million campaign titled 'Stay Out and Leave Now,' aimed at reducing the burden on immigration enforcement resources.
• Critics have raised privacy concerns about the app's data collection and questioned whether it will achieve its intended goals, with some describing it as a fear-driven approach to immigration.
