Overview

• The administration’s two-track plan focuses enforcement on criminal arrests while offering voluntary departure incentives for others.
• The departures amount to nearly 6% of an estimated 15.4 million undocumented immigrants in the United States.
• Average hourly wages climbed 0.4% in May to $36.24 as businesses respond to a shrinking labor pool.
• A multimillion-dollar ad campaign in the U.S. and abroad promotes the self-deportation option through the CBP Home app.
• DHS projects that pairing a $1,000 stipend with app-based departures cuts deportation costs by about 70%.
