In addition to offering financial incentives, the administration has pressured people to leave the country, using tactics that include threats of fines and strict conditions in arrests
The government of, under the administration of, revealed on Monday (5) a new program that offers a financial aid of $ 1,000 to migrants who decide to “self-hold”. This initiative, announced by the Department of Internal Security (DHS), also includes logistics support, aiming to make the country’s exit process more accessible and less costly.
Internal Security Secretary Kristi Noem has defended self -support as the safest option for those who want to leave the US. “If you are here illegally, self -support is the best, safest and most economical way to leave the United States to avoid prison.” Since the Trump administration’s beginning, the number of deportations has reached 152,000, a total lower than that registered during the administration, which accounted for 195,000 deportations in the same period.
In addition to offering financial incentives, the administration has pressured migrants to leave the country, using tactics that include threats of fines and strict arrest conditions. In an attempt to facilitate this process, the CBP Home application was launched in March, which DHS considers a “historical opportunity” for those who wish to return to their home countries.
The government estimates that application implementation could reduce the costs associated with deportation by up to 70%. Trump also mentioned that the United States would be open to the possibility of allowing the return of migrants who behave properly. However, DHS has not provided details about the programs or legal paths that could be offered for this return.
