US EditionDHS increases offer for undocumented migrants to $3000 if they voluntarily leave by end of 2025
The Department of Homeland Security offers $3,000 plus airfare and fine waivers to encourage voluntary self-deportation, aiming to cut costs against the $17,000 average for traditional removal.
- On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security said it tripled its exit bonus to $3,000 for undocumented migrants who register and depart by Dec. 31, 2025, with travel aid and fine waivers.
- DHS says the move is part of a holiday-season campaign to accelerate removals and reduce taxpayer costs, citing the $17,000 average cost to remove one person compared with detention and deportation operations.
- The CBP Home app allows users to declare intent to leave, confirm departure, submit personal info and a selfie, add others to their group, and avoid harsher consequences, DHS says.
- Immigration experts warn many participants lack full understanding of the app, while those showing `meaningful strides` are deprioritized for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrest.
- The administration is preparing a more aggressive 2026 enforcement push with billions in new funding, hiring thousands more agents and opening new detention centers after 622,000 deportations this year.
