US EditionCash incentive doubled for self-deportations, Trump administration announces
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security raised the self-deportation stipend from $1,000 to $2,600, offering free flights and fine forgiveness to nearly 100,000 app users, saving taxpayers over $13,000 each.
- DHS increased its cash stipend for self-deportation via the CBP Home app from $1,000 to $2,600, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Wednesday.
- To mark the administration's first year, DHS said the higher stipend celebrates this milestone and builds on the May rollout of $1,000 stipends plus the holiday $3,000 offer under Project Homecoming.
- Under the program, those who enroll through the app receive a free flight home and potential fine forgiveness, with DHS saying nearly 2.2 million voluntarily returned and nearly 100,000 app users last year.
- But watchdogs and analysts questioned DHS's figures, noting the $2,600 stipend "may not last long," while Brookings Institution and news investigations cited by critics raised concerns about eligibility and payment delays.
- Funded with $250 million shifted from refugee resettlement, the program faces questions as media investigations and the Migration Policy Institute/European University Institute study say many self-deportations lacked promised help and large-scale returns often fail.
