INCREASED INCENTIVES: DHS Now Offering $3K Holiday Stipend Through End of The Year Via the CBP Home App for Illegal Aliens to Leave Now

Those in the U.S. illegally will receive the $3K stipend and a free flight home if they sign up to self-deport through the CBP Home app by the end of the year

WASHINGTON - The Department of Homeland Security is continuing to deliver this holiday season on its promise to help illegal aliens in the United States return home.

Illegal aliens who sign up to self-deport through the CBP Home app by the end of the year will receive a $3,000 stipend in addition to a free flight home. Using the CBP Home app also qualifies recipients for forgiveness of any civil fines or penalties for failing to depart the country.

"Since January 2025, 1.9 million illegal aliens have voluntarily self-deported and tens of thousands have used the CBP Home program. 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," said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. "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."

Self-deportation through the CBP Home app is 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.
