The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced that undocumented immigrants who voluntarily depart through the "CBP Home" app by year-end will receive a $3,000 holiday allowance and government-funded return flights. The Department of Homeland Security stated that those who use the app to self-deport will also be exempt from civil fines and penalties resulting from overdue departure. This measure is positioned as a temporary arrangement to "increase incentives" during the holiday period, applicable to individuals who complete registration by the end of this year. U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security May said that since January 2025, about 1.9 million undocumented immigrants have voluntarily departed, with tens of thousands completing the process through the "CBP Home" program. She warned that those who do not choose voluntary departure will face arrest and forced deportation and may permanently lose the right to re-enter the United States. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security emphasized that the app provides a "one-stop" operation, with the government arranging travel and covering costs, aiming to accelerate the departure of undocumented immigrants and reduce law enforcement costs.
