President Trump, in coordination with his DHS, released a video on the CBP One app this week on social media. In the video, Trump encourages illegal migrants to self-deport using the app — or get deported “the hard way.”
“People in our country can self-deport the easy way, or they can get deported the hard way, and that’s not pleasant,” Trump says in the video.
“The Biden administration exploited the CBP One app to allow more than 1 million aliens to illegally enter the United States. Now, my administration is launching the CBP Home app to give people in our country illegally an easy way to leave now and self-deport voluntarily,” he continues.
“If they do, they will have the opportunity to potentially return legally at some point in the future, but if they do not avail themselves of this opportunity, then they will be found. They will be deported, and they will never be admitted to the United States ever, ever again,” Trump adds.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem shared the video message on X, saying “The CBP Home app gives aliens the option to leave now and self-deport, so they may still have the opportunity to return legally in the future and live the American dream. If they don’t, we will find them, we will deport them, and they will never return.”

The CBP Home app allows illegal immigrants to “Submit Intent to Depart” and submit information regarding their intent to leave the U.S.
