The US government initiated its first voluntary deportation flight, sending 68 Honduran and Colombian immigrants back to their home countries. The program offers migrants $1000 debit cards and the potential for future legal entry into the US. While the Trump administration aims to increase deportations, experts predict limited participation. The Honduran government will provide additional support to returning migrants. Despite the initiative, Honduran deportations this year remain below last year's numbers, suggesting limited program impact.
