DHS Says It Will Pay Illegal Immigrants $1,000 to Self-Deport

Secretary Kristi Noem says self-deporting is likely the best way for illegal immigrants to remove themselves from the United States.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that illegal immigrants who use the CBP Home app to initiate their own deportation procedures will receive a $1,000 bonus stipend.

In a statement on May 5, the agency said that illegal aliens would โ€œreceive both financial and travel assistance to facilitate travel back to their home country through the CBP Home Appโ€ and that those individuals who arenโ€™t authorized to be in the United States will get the $1,000 stipend โ€œafter their return to their home country has been confirmed through the app.โ€

Trump administration officials have said that using the governmentโ€™s self-deportation process is likely the best way for illegal immigrants to remove themselves to avoid being targeted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials.

โ€œIf you are here illegally, self-deportation is the best, safest and most cost-effective way to leave the United States to avoid arrest,โ€ DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said in the statement. โ€œDHS is now offering illegal aliens financial travel assistance and a stipend to return to their home country through the CBP Home App. This is the safest option for our law enforcement, aliens and is a 70 percent savings for US taxpayers. Download the CBP Home App TODAY and self-deport.โ€

When he took office on Jan. 20, President Donald Trump moved to close down the Biden administrationโ€™s CBP One app, which had been used by migrants in Mexico to schedule appointments at designated U.S. ports of entry.

Upon CBP Oneโ€™s cancellation, migrants could no longer schedule appointments, and tens of thousands of border appointments were scrapped.

More than 900,000 people entered the country on immigration parole under CBP One, generally for two years, starting in January 2023.

The Trump administration has repeatedly urged people who are in the country illegally to leave.

Last month, the president told Fox Noticias that while his administration is focused on removing violent criminals from the United States, he wants to provide a more robust โ€œself-deportation program.โ€ At the time, Trump signaled that DHS would provide those individuals with a stipend of some kind.

โ€œWeโ€™re going to give them a stipend,โ€ Trump said in mid-April. โ€œWeโ€™re going to give them some money and a plane ticket, and then weโ€™re going to work with themโ€”if theyโ€™re goodโ€”if we want them back in, weโ€™re going to work with them to get them back in as quickly as we can.โ€
