Thousands Of Illegal Aliens Schedule Self-Deportations Through ‘CBP Home’ App

SUMMARY

Trump administration notched a win as over 5,000 illegal aliens opted to self-deport using the CBP Home app, per DHS data shared with Fox News. Originally CBP One under Biden, which let illegals schedule U.S. entry, Trump axed it right after his January 20 inauguration, flipping it into a deportation tool. Now, thousands are booking their own exits, dodging detention and forced removal. DHS dropped a flyer this week, warning illegals with deportation orders of $998 daily fines if they stay—jumping to $1,000-$5,000 if they flake on self-deport plans. “Self-deportation is safe,” it says, dangling perks like keeping earnings, future legal entry chances, and flight cash for the broke. America First Legal’s James Rogers told Fox News it’s working because Trump’s credible enforcement threat—unlike past admins—has teeth. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin doubled down: “Use CBP Home or face consequences.”
