The Hill reports that the Trump administration announced today that it will pay migrants $1,000 if they “self-deport.”
The May 5, 2025 announcement from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) called the funds a way to “facilitate travel back to their home country” that will be paid once their return has been confirmed through the CBP Home app.
Every day it is something. It seems unlikely to me that there will many takers of the $1000 self deportation money.
