'Self-deportation' is the safest, most effective, and least expensive method to exit the United States and evade arrest if you are unlawfully in the country,' the ministry cited department leader Kristi Noem.

The ministry provides a pay-as-you-go option and rewards via the CBP Home mobile app for those returning home. According to the press release, ‘Every undocumented immigrant who utilizes the app for self-deportation will earn a $1,000 reward once they verify to the app that they have gone back to their country of origin.’

The Associated Press highlights that in line with its stricter immigration strategy, the Trump administration has significantly altered an app created during the tenure of former president Joe Biden. The CBP One app from U.S. Border Patrol, which offered access to multiple agency services for entry into the country and asylum, has been renamed CBP Home and is intended to ‘assist immigrants in returning to their home countries,’ according to the agency.
