Trump Admin’s $1000 Offer for Self-Deporting Immigrants
Monday, May 5, 2025, 1:21 pm
The Trump administration has launched a controversial initiative offering $1000 along with travel assistance to immigrants in irregular situations who wish to self-deport. Critics are laughing—and frowning—at the policy’s practical impact on a complex immigration landscape.
'If you are here illegally, self-deportation is the best, safest and most cost-effective way to leave the United States to avoid arrest,' Secretary Kristi Noem said
Le département américain de la Sécurité intérieure financera également l’aide au voyage.
The Department of Homeland Security said in a news release that it's also paying for travel assistance for immigrants who are illegally in the U.S. and want to "self-deport."
