First Trump $1,000 ‘self-deport’ flight conducted by DHS

  • On May 19, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security completed its first charter flight carrying 64 migrants who voluntarily self-deported from the U.S. To Honduras and Colombia.
  • This flight resulted from a DHS initiative announced May 5 that offers undocumented immigrants financial aid and free flights through the CBP Home app to encourage voluntary departure.
  • Among the 38 Hondurans landing in San Pedro Sula were up to 19 children, some born in the U.S. Or Mexico, who left with relatives to avoid family separation.
  • The DHS advertises the program as a dignified, safe method that reduces deportation costs of over $17,000 per case by providing $1,000 stipends after confirmed returns.
  • While the initiative aims to ease orderly departures and allow future legal U.S. Entry applications, authorities expect limited participation and emphasize consequences for non-compliance.
