New DHS Program Offers Incentives for Voluntary Departure

According to DHS officials, this approach could cut deportation expenses by up to 70% compared to standard enforcement methods. Participants must use the CBP Home app to register, and the stipend is only provided once departure is verified. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem described the initiative as a “safe and cost-effective” option, highlighting that it allows participants the possibility of legal reentry in the future.
