Overview

  • President Trump signed an executive order formally establishing 'Project Homecoming,' the first U.S. self-deportation program for undocumented migrants.
  • Migrants can use the CBP Home app to book free flights to any foreign country except the U.S. and receive a $1,000 stipend after their return is verified.
  • The program aims to reduce deportation costs by 70%, with the administration projecting significant taxpayer savings compared to traditional enforcement methods.
  • Undocumented migrants who do not comply face severe penalties, including detention, fines, asset seizure, wage garnishment, and sudden deportation.
  • The administration has highlighted the program as part of its broader immigration crackdown, with plans to escalate enforcement for those who refuse to leave voluntarily.
