Trump administration, to pay $ 1,000 in an undocumented immigrant who prepare themselves

The Department of Homeland Security is strengthening its efforts to convince unauthorized immigrants to avert themselves by offering a scholarship and travel support of $ 1,000.

The Federal Authority announced on Monday that those who use the CBP Home app to leave the United States will receive help “to facilitate the trip to their home country” and 1,000 US dollars “, which were confirmed by the app after their return to their home country.”

The announcement comes that the number of deportations was stagnated by President Donald Trump during the first 100 days. One of the most important campaigns by the President was that he would promise mass shifts as soon as he took office.

DHS did not immediately answer questions on how the funds would be provided or which proof would be necessary to prove that the person had returned to their home country.

DHS spokesman Tricia Mclaghlin said at the end of March that those who report themselves, biographical data, documents, face pictures and geo location can use in the app to prove that they have left the country. “The extraterrestrial must be at least three miles outside the United States to successfully use this function,” she said. “While the use of the check functionality is optional, you have to submit a face picture if the alien uses it.”

In a press release, DHS secretary Kristi Noem said that self-report was “the best, safest and most cost-effective way of leaving the United States to avoid arrest”.

A single deportation costs US taxpayers according to DHS $ 17,121. The federal authority expects self -reports to reduce these costs by 70%even after it takes into account in the scholarship.

So far, at least 5,000 immigrants have reported at least 5,000 immigrants to say that, according to the migration Policy Institute, a Think Tank in Washington, they had voluntarily left the country.

DHS has refused to say how many unauthorized immigrants have so far used the app to close self -staff.

According to the apple figures, a company that follows the app downloads, the CBP Home App was recently downloaded about 1,500 times a day. According to Ariel Michaeli, CEO of the company, the app has been downloaded about 300,000 times since the beginning of 2025.

In March, the Trump administration around the CBP app with the bidea era, with which migrants were able to legally enter the United States as asylum seekers and turned them into the CBP home app. This version of the mobile application has a function for self -report.

The Trump administration issued 200 million US dollars for revising the app and created an accompanying advertising campaign in which NoEM leads to promoting the use of the app.

The ads that have been broadcast in English and Spanish in the USA and Mexico encourage immigrants who are not legally present in the United States to leave the country.

As part of her announcement on Monday, DHS said that undocumented immigrants who “present their intention to voluntarily turn away from the CBP house are also exposed to detention and removal before they leave, as long as they show that they make meaningful progress when completing this departure.”

The agency also said that self -burden by the app “could help keep the option for an illegal alien in order to legally re -enter the United States in the future” and to reproduce important points in your advertisements.

“The surgical word in this quote of the secretary is” Mai “,” Kathleen Bush-Joseph, a political analyst in the US immigration policy program at the Migration Policy Institute, told NBC News in March.

“For many people who leave the United States, there may never be a lawful option for returning to the United States, or re -entry can be excluded for many years,” said Heidi Altman, the Vice President of Politics at the National Immigration Law Center, an Advocacy organization, in March. “Forcing or forcing people to leave or lead their houses and their relatives, bear political, moral and economic costs.”
