CBP Promotes Voluntary Departure App with Cash Incentives and Free Flights
Customs and Border Protection is utilizing the CBP Home app to facilitate a voluntary departure program for undocumented immigrants. The agency presents the program as a choice between self-deportation with financial assistance or facing formal detention and removal. Participants who use the app to go home are eligible for a $2,600 check and a free flight. Supporters frame the program as a straightforward decision to avoid the standard deportation process. They argue that violating national laws must have consequences. The program aims to streamline removals while reducing the burden on federal detention facilities.
