The Trump administration has launched CBP Home, an app allowing undocumented immigrants to "self-deport" voluntarily, as part of its aggressive deportation strategy.
The Trump administration introduced a new app on Monday aimed at encouraging undocumented immigrants in the U.S. to "self-deport" instead of risking arrest and detention, further advancing President Donald Trump's deportation agenda.
The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) app, named CBP Home, offers individuals the option to indicate their "intent to depart," the agency confirmed.
“The CBP Home app provides individuals the chance to leave voluntarily and self-deport, allowing them the possibility of returning legally in the future and pursuing the American dream,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated. “If they choose not to, we will locate them, deport them, and they will be permanently barred from returning.”
Trump, a Republican, has committed to deporting unprecedented numbers of undocumented migrants in the U.S. While his initial deportation numbers in fiscal year 2024 were lower than the monthly average under Democratic President Joe Biden, Biden's deportations largely targeted recent border crossers.
The Trump administration has implemented additional measures to pressure undocumented immigrants to leave voluntarily.
A new regulation set to take effect on April 11 will require individuals without legal status to register with the federal government or face fines or potential jail time.
CBP Home replaces the CBP One app, which was introduced during the Biden administration. The Biden-era app allowed approximately one million migrants in Mexico to schedule appointments for legal entry at U.S. border crossings.
Republicans criticized the Biden app, arguing that it contributed to mass migration and failed to properly vet migrants.
Upon assuming office, Trump deactivated CBP One within hours, leaving migrants with pending appointments uncertain about their next steps.
