The mechanics of deportation make for quick exits, long uncertainty
That's the process. This article provides some detail on voluntary departure:
“Voluntary departure is still available and something a lot more people are taking.” They can request that in immigration court.
Flynn says, “They don’t want to spend the money and the time trying to fight deportation. Depending on how long you were here — at least you have the possibility of legal re-entry in the future. People prefer that to being here with uncertainty.”
With voluntary departure, the individual pays for their return to their home country; they report their return to the U.S. Consulate on the other side of the border. If they fail to do that, says Gonzalez, “the voluntary departure order becomes a removal order,” delaying their possible legal return.
