17 June 2025
Effective June 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is offering a new option for noncitizens in the U.S. with final deportation orders: self-deportation via the CBP Home App—now with forgiveness of daily fines that can reach up to $1,000 per day for overstaying.
Key Benefits of the CBP Home App Program:
- ✅ Fines Waived for failure to depart after deportation or voluntary departure order
- ✈️ Free flight to your home country
- 💵 $1,000 stipend after confirmed return
- 📱 Available on Apple and Android (Search: CBP Home)
This program is aimed at giving individuals the chance to leave voluntarily without penalties and preserve their opportunity to return legally in the future.
What This Means for You
If you’re facing a deportation order, this could be a chance to leave the U.S. on your own terms, avoid heavy financial penalties, and receive help with your travel costs.
But the decision to self-deport should never be made without legal guidance.
