Trump Administration Launches CBP Home App for Migrant Self-Deportation

The new app replaces Biden-era CBP One, enabling undocumented migrants to voluntarily declare their intent to leave the U.S.

The CBP Home app includes a 'Submit Intent to Depart' feature, allowing undocumented migrants to notify U.S. authorities of their plans to leave voluntarily.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated that migrants who self-deport may have the opportunity to return legally in the future, while those forcibly deported face permanent bans.
The app's rebranding is part of a $200 million campaign titled 'Stay Out and Leave Now,' aimed at reducing illegal immigration and reallocating enforcement resources.
The CBP Home app replaces CBP One, which under the Biden administration facilitated asylum appointments and allowed over one million migrants to enter the U.S.
Critics have raised concerns about the app's privacy implications and its role in creating fear within immigrant communities, while proponents view it as a cost-effective enforcement tool.
