The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said it would pay undocumented migrants who leave the United States and return to their home country, CNN reports.
In addition to “both financial and travel assistance to facilitate,” self-deportation, which a DHS spokesperson said included a complimentary one-way departure ticket, the agency said it would also pay an additional $1,000 to people who verify they have returned to their home country. Migrants can verify their departure from the US using the CBP Home App, the agency said.
DHS added that those who participate in this process will be deprioritized for targeting by immigration officials for detention and removal from the country, and that it “may” preserve the option for migrants to re-enter the US legally in the future.
