Trump Administration Launches CBP Home App to Encourage Self-Deportation
The app, part of a $200 million campaign, aims to streamline voluntary departures and free up resources for targeting dangerous criminal aliens.
- The CBP Home app allows unauthorized immigrants to submit their intent to leave the U.S. and verify their departure.
- President Trump warns in a video that immigrants who fail to self-deport will face forced removal and permanent reentry bans.
- The app replaces the Biden-era CBP One app, which had facilitated legal border crossings, marking a significant policy shift.
- A $200 million advertising campaign, featuring Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, promotes the app and discourages illegal immigration.
- The administration has paused parole programs and expanded deportations, invoking war powers to target specific groups, while facing legal challenges.
