President Donald Trump has ordered the Department of Homeland Security to recruit at least 20,000 new officers to support a sweeping deportation effort, part of a broader initiative he calls “Project Homecoming.”
The plan aims to incentivize undocumented immigrants to leave the U.S. voluntarily, offering paid travel and a $1,000 “exit bonus” through a new federal program.
