Trump administration says it’ll pay immigrants in the US illegally $1,000 to leave the country
- The Trump administration announced on May 5, 2025, it will pay immigrants in the U.S. Illegally $1,000 to leave voluntarily using the CBP Home app.
- This initiative follows the administration’s broader effort to advance a costly and resource-intensive mass deportation agenda focused on immigration enforcement.
- The government will cover travel expenses and will lower the priority of enforcement actions against individuals who register their departure plans using the CBP Home app.

- This policy encourages self-deportation as a safer, more cost-effective alternative for both immigrants and law enforcement, while the administration seeks increased funding for removal operations.
