The U.S. government is introducing financial incentives for undocumented migrants to leave the country voluntarily, aiming to reduce detentions and deportation costs.
The Trump administration will offer undocumented immigrants $1,000 plus travel costs if they leave the U.S. voluntarily. The Department of Homeland Security said those who use the CBP One app to declare self-deportation will also be deprioritised for detention and removal.
The policy targets individuals without criminal charges or security risks and aims to ease pressure on detention facilities. DHS says it promotes voluntary compliance while avoiding legal and logistical burdens.
Supporters call it a practical solution, while critics warn it may encourage more migration. The move aligns with the administration’s broader immigration enforcement strategy.
