DHS to offer $1,000 to migrants who voluntarily leave the U.S.

(NBC, KYMA/KECY) - The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is planning to offer a stipend and travel assistance to migrants who elect to voluntarily "self-deport" from the U.S.

The Trump Administration announced Monday it will offer free airline tickets and a $1,000 incentive to some unauthorized immigrants.

According to the organization, the stipend will be paid after their return to their home country has been confirmed through the CBP Home app.

The Administration said those who sign up for self-deportation using the CBP Home app will be deprioritized for arrest and detention by ICE "as long as they demonstrate they are making meaningful strides in completing that departure."

The incentives are part of a broader effort by the Trump Administration to push unauthorized immigrants to leave the U.S.
