Trump issues illegal migrants

President Donald Trump signed an executive order launching “Project Homecoming,” a self-deportation program offering illegal immigrants a financial incentive and free flights to leave the United States. The plan, introduced after legal challenges to previous immigration measures, allows non-legal residents to voluntarily depart with federal support rather than face strict enforcement and penalties. The program includes a “CBP Home” app, which facilitates booking government-funded flights to any country other than the US, and offers a concierge service at airports. Those who self-deport will receive an “exit bonus” of around \$1,000 once their arrival at their chosen destination is confirmed.

Announcing the initiative, Trump stated that this voluntary departure would save taxpayers billions. He warned that migrants who refuse to leave will face severe consequences, including imprisonment, financial penalties, and forced deportation. Trump emphasized that the goal is to make it as easy as possible for illegal immigrants to leave while significantly reducing immigration-related expenses for the country. Social media reactions have been mixed, with some expressing concern over the plan’s execution and long-term implications.
