Trump Administration Overhauls Immigration App to Promote Self-Deportation

The CBP One app, once used to schedule asylum appointments, has been rebranded as CBP Home, featuring a tool for undocumented immigrants to voluntarily report their intent to leave the U.S.

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.
