The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) continues its commitment this holiday season to helping undocumented immigrants in the United States return home voluntarily.

Undocumented immigrants who register for self-deportation through the CBP Home app before the end of the year will receive a $3,000 bonus and a free plane ticket home. Using the CBP Home app will also exempt them from fines or civil penalties related to deportation orders.

"Since January 2025, 1.9 million illegal aliens have voluntarily self-deported and tens of thousands have used the CBP Home program. During the Christmas Season, the U.S. taxpayer is so generously TRIPLING the incentive to leave voluntarily for those in this country illegally- offering a $3,000 exit bonus, but just until the end of the year," said Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security. She emphasized, "Illegal aliens should take advantage of this gift and self-deport because if they don’t, we will find them, we will arrest them, and they will never return."

Self-deportation via the CBP Home app is quick, free, and easy, according to the DHS. "Just download the app, fill out your information, and DHS will take care of the rest – including arranging and paying for your travel back home."
