Yes, the U.S. government is offering voluntary travel assistance and a $1,000 stipend to individuals in the U.S. illegally who choose to self-deport through the CBP Home App, according to a news release from the Department of Homeland Security. This initiative aims to streamline the removal process and reduce costs associated with traditional deportation efforts.
The program incentivizes voluntary departure by providing financial and travel assistance, including a $1,000 stipend after return to the home country is confirmed through the CBP Home App. This method is presented as a "dignified way to leave the U.S." and allows individuals to avoid potential encounters with ICE.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) states that the use of the CBP Home App for self-deportation is projected to decrease the cost of a deportation by around 70% compared to the current average cost of $17,121 to arrest, detain, and remove an individual.
