The Trump administration is offering illegal immigrants $1,000 and paid travel to self-deport, using the CBP One app to track their return. This initiative, touted as a cost-effective and dignified alternative to traditional deportation (averaging $17,000 per person), aims to reduce illegal crossings. While the administration highlights a drop in border arrests and increased ICE detentions, the plan faces criticism and legal challenges. The offer includes a potential future pathway to legal US residency for those who self-deport.
