The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is upping the incentives for illegal aliens who are deported from the United States over the Christmas season.
Illegal aliens who voluntarily leave the country using the CBP Home app before the end of the year will be offered a financial incentive of $3,000, along with government-funded travel back to their home country.
Those who opt into the programme will also have any outstanding civil penalties or fines related to overstaying or failing to depart waived, effectively wiping the slate clean if they comply with the self-deportation process.
“Since January 2025, 1.9 million illegal aliens have voluntarily self-deported, and tens of thousands have used the CBP Home program,” said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
“During the Christmas Season, the U.S. taxpayer is so generously TRIPLING the incentive to leave voluntarily for those in this country illegally- offering a $3,000 exit bonus, but just until the end of the year.”
”Illegal aliens should take advantage of this gift and self-deport because if they don’t, we will find them, we will arrest them, and they will never return.”
In a press release, DHS described the offer as “the best gift that an illegal alien can give themselves and their families this holiday season.”
“It’s a fast, free, and easy process: Just download the app, fill out your information, and DHS will take care of the rest – including arranging and paying for your travel back home.”
”Those illegal aliens who don’t take advantage of this special offer today have only one alternative: They will be arrested, deported, and they will never be able to return to the United States.”
DHS has tripled its “exit bonus” from $1,000 to $3,000 for illegal migrants who sign up with the federal government and depart by Dec. 31, 2025.https://t.co/ZRjvOBTP4u

The reward is part of the Trump administration’s efforts to remove the tens of millions of illegal aliens currently residing in the U.S., with self-deportation being significantly less costly and more efficient than forced deportation.
The offer of a four-figure payout was first introduced by DHS in June.
It was promoted as a way for illegal aliens to “take control of their departure” and “preserve the opportunity to come back to the U.S. the right and legal way in the future.”
Today, DHS is announcing illegal aliens who self-deport through the CBP Home App will receive forgiveness of any failure to depart fines, in addition to cost-free travel and a $1,000 exit bonus.
By self-deporting, illegal aliens take control of their departure and may preserve…
