Trump's self-deport plan has generous offer to illegal immigrants

President Donald Trump has a nice offer for illegal immigrants who want to make a few bucks and avoid punishment.

What are Trump's self-deport options?

Voluntary exit via the CBP Home app

A $1,000 stipend upon verified departure

Free one‑way airfare to a country of choice (not the U.S.)

De‑prioritized enforcement actions, if departure plans are underway

Avoid harsher consequences

Officials promote self-deportation as a "safer and more cost-effective" alternative to forced removal, which can cost ICE around $17,000 per person.

Failing to voluntarily leave could lead to legal penalties, including fines, daily wage garnishments, and re-entry bars of 10–20 years under the new policy.
