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

  • On May 19, 2025, a charter flight carrying 64 migrants who opted for voluntary self-deportation departed from Houston, transporting individuals back to their home countries of Honduras and Colombia as part of Project Homecoming.
  • The initiative offers undocumented immigrants $1,000 and travel assistance in exchange for voluntary return, using the CBP Home app to manage the process.
  • Thirty-Eight Hondurans, including up to 19 children, arrived in San Pedro Sula carrying government debit cards, while 26 Colombians returned separately the same day.
  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem warned that failure to comply could result in penalties, detention, removal from the country, and a permanent ban on reentry.
  • Experts predict the program will appeal to only a limited number already planning return, implying it may not significantly increase overall deportations.
