The Trump administration is offering financial incentives to undocumented immigrants in the United States who choose to self-deport. Those who voluntarily return to their home countries stand to receive $1,000, as part of the broader deportation strategy spearheaded by the administration.

The Department of Homeland Security announced on Monday that it will also provide travel assistance to those utilizing these incentives. Furthermore, immigrants who use the CBP Home app to inform the government of their departure plans may be deprioritized for detention by immigration enforcement.

President Trump's focus on immigration enforcement has been central to his political agenda, driving significant policy reforms. However, these efforts require substantial resources, prompting the administration to seek additional funding from Congress while encouraging illegal immigrants to depart on their own.
