U.S. Launches Voluntary Self-Departure Program for Undocumented Immigrants

In a new approach to immigration enforcement, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced a voluntary self-departure program that offers free commercial flights and a financial incentive to undocumented immigrants who choose to leave the country on their own.

Announced on May 14, 2025, the program provides eligible individuals with transportation assistance and a $1,000 stipend, which is granted after the participant’s departure is verified. To enroll, migrants must register through the official CBP Home mobile application.

Officials describe the program as a more humane and cost-effective method of managing immigration cases. According to DHS estimates, voluntary departures could reduce government expenses by up to 70% compared to traditional enforcement and deportation procedures. These savings are attributed to fewer legal proceedings, lower detention costs, and a streamlined repatriation process.

The initiative also allows participants to maintain the possibility of applying for legal reentry in the future, as opposed to being barred due to formal deportation orders. DHS officials believe this feature may encourage greater participation and help restore order to the immigration system.

Supporters of the program argue that it can help relieve pressure on immigration courts, detention centers, and enforcement agencies, all while reducing the burden on taxpayers. By offering a dignified exit option, proponents say it aligns fiscal responsibility with humanitarian values.
