Overview
- The embassy’s message on X invites undocumented migrants to register via the CBP Home app and depart before the end of 2025 to receive $3,000 plus a free return ticket.
- The post warns that those who do not self-deport will be located, arrested, and barred from returning to the United States.
- The outreach was published in Portuguese and points users to download the app through a link in the embassy’s profile bio.
- Coverage situates the offer in a broader enforcement surge, with CNN reporting at least 200,000 Latin American deportations from January to October 2025, a 470% rise over the comparable period early in the Biden administration.
- Valor cited government data indicating 3,170 Brazilians were deported in the first ten months of 2025, the highest since 2020 and up 90% from the same period in 2024.
