SEE YOURSELF OUT: Thousands of Illegal Migrants Self-Deport Using CBP Home App: DHS Data

According to a Fox News report and numbers obtained from the Department of Homeland Security, thousands of illegal migrants are self-deporting every month using the Trump Administration’s repurposed CBP Home App.

The app, originally called CBP One, was used by the Biden Administration to more quickly bring illegal migrants into the country.

From Fox News:

The number of immigrants who have opted to self-deport over the last month using the CBP Home app is over 5,000, according to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) data shared with Fox News Digital.

The self-deportations come as the Trump administration has ramped up a messaging campaign aimed at encouraging illegal immigrants to leave the country voluntarily, most recently releasing a flyer addressed to “illegal aliens” that threatens new fines for those who choose to remain in the U.S. despite a deportation order.

“Self-deportation is safe,” the flyer reads. “Leave on your own terms by picking your departure flight.”

he flyer warns that the administration plans to start fining illegal migrants who have received a final order of removal $998 per day if they continue to stay in the country, while fines of $1,000-$5,000 could be given to those who failed to self-deport after claiming they would.

America First Legal Senior Counsel James Rogers argued that the self-deportation push is working because of the “credible threat of enforcement.”

“Our nation’s immigration laws impose severe penalties on aliens who are illegally in the country. The only reason there is a large population of illegal immigrants residing in the United States is because prior administrations have failed to enforce these laws passed by Congress,” Rogers said. “Everyone knows this, including the aliens who have been illegally living here. The current trend of illegal aliens self-deporting proves that even just the credible threat of enforcement can be enough to get many illegal immigrants to comply with our laws and leave the country.”
