Trump Administration Launches CBP Home App for Voluntary Self-Deportation

The app replaces the CBP One platform, offering a streamlined process for undocumented immigrants to leave the U.S. voluntarily.

The CBP Home app, introduced by the Trump administration, allows undocumented immigrants to self-report their intent to leave the U.S. voluntarily.
The app includes features such as biometric verification through selfies and questions about passport validity and financial resources for departure.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated that the app aims to restore integrity to the immigration system and reduce government deportation costs.
The app's launch follows the revocation of the CBP One app, which was criticized for enabling mass parole under the Biden administration.
Indian student Ranjani Srinivasan became one of the first users of the app after her visa was revoked for alleged ties to Hamas, marking a high-profile case of the app's functionality.
