The Trump administration has introduced the CBP Home app, aimed at allowing undocumented immigrants living in the United States to voluntarily express their intention to leave the country.

Launched on Monday, the app permits users to indicate their choice to 'self deport' instead of risking arrest and detention amid ongoing immigration enforcement measures.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem highlighted the app's purpose, stating it provides individuals the chance to depart voluntarily, which may help them retain the possibility of reentering the U.S. legally in the future.

This initiative is in line with President Donald Trump's broader promise to enhance the deportation of immigrants residing unlawfully in the country.

Data indicates that the initial deportation numbers during the Trump administration were lower than those in the fiscal year 2024 under President Joe Biden.

Nonetheless, Biden's statistics included many individuals who had recently entered the country illegally.

Alongside the app, the Trump administration is rolling out additional measures that may prompt undocumented immigrants to leave the United States.

A new regulation set to take effect on April 11 will mandate individuals without legal status to register with the federal government or risk facing fines or incarceration.

The CBP Home app supersedes CBP One, which was launched during the Biden administration and allowed around one million migrants in Mexico to arrange appointments for legal entry into the United States through specific border crossings.

Critics from the Republican Party have raised concerns about the Biden-era initiative, arguing it led to increased migration to the U.S. and lacked sufficient vetting procedures for migrants.

Shortly after taking office, Trump abolished the CBP One app just hours into his administration, leading to confusion among many migrants with pending appointments who were uncertain about their immigration status.
