U.S. offers migrants free airline tickets and $1,000 stipend if they self-deport

The Trump administration announced a self-deportation initiative offering free flight tickets and a $1,000 incentive for unauthorized immigrants to voluntarily return to their home countries. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) stated that interested migrants can use the CBP Home app to register, and those who participate will be deprioritized for arrest by ICE. This program aims to encourage voluntary departures, conserve government resources, and reduce the costs associated with detaining and deporting undocumented immigrants.
