Trump Administration To Pay Immigrants In U.S. Illegally $1,000 To ‘Self-Deport’

Donald Trump’s administration is offering incentives for illegal immigrants to leave the U.S. voluntarily.

The Department of Homeland Security announced Monday (May 5) that it will provide $1,000 and travel assistance to individuals who use the CBP Home app to notify the government of their intent to self-deport. Those who sign up will be “deprioritized” for detention and removal by immigration enforcement.

Secretary Kristi Noem explained,

“If you are here illegally, self-deportation is the best, safest and most cost-effective way to leave the United States to avoid arrest.”
