Trump Administration Promotes CBP Home App for Voluntary Self-Deportation

The app, part of a $200 million campaign, offers unauthorized immigrants a pathway to leave voluntarily with potential for future legal reentry.

The CBP Home app, launched by the Trump administration, enables unauthorized immigrants to declare their intent to self-deport and verify their departure.
President Trump emphasized that those who self-deport may have the opportunity to return legally, while those forcibly deported will face permanent bans on reentry.
The app replaces the Biden-era CBP One app, which was criticized for facilitating legal border crossings and asylum claims.
A $200 million advertising campaign is underway to encourage use of the app and reduce strain on immigration enforcement resources.
Legal challenges have arisen, including a federal judge's temporary halt on deportations of Venezuelan nationals under the Alien Enemies Act.
