DHS Offer for "Voluntary Self-Deportation" Could Harm Undocumented Immigrants
Briefly

The Trump administration's recent announcement of a travel assistance program aimed at undocumented immigrants encourages self-deportation with promises of financial help. Though Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem calls it a safe and economical option, experts warn that accepting the offer could negatively affect any pending or future immigration cases. Critics highlight the misleading nature of DHS's assurances regarding the potential for return, urging caution among vulnerable populations considering this option.
If you are here illegally, self-deportation is the best, safest, and most cost-effective way to leave the United States to avoid arrest.
It is incredibly important for all reporting on this to emphasize that DHS's claim that people who do this will be able to return is, in many cases, an outright LIE.
