DHS released nationwide ads encouraging self-deportation.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced the nationwide ads promoting the CBP Home App, which encourages illegal aliens to self deport to their native country. Illegal aliens who utilize the app will receive financial assistance of up to $1,000, a free flight home, and preserve the potential opportunity to return to the United States the legal, right way.
According to the Department of Homeland Security, those who do not take advantage of the app will be fined thousands of dollars, detained, and forcefully removed from the United States.
“The CBP Home app gives aliens the option to leave now, and self deport, so they may still have the opportunity to return legally in the future and live the American dream,” said Secretary Kristi Noem. “If they don’t, we will find them, we will deport them, and they will never return.”
This series of ads were set to run on broadcast television and online, across the United States and internationally. The ads will be broadcast in multiple languages, according to DHS.
DHS said the ads are targeted toward all illegal aliens residing within the United States to ensure they are given the resources needed to take advantage of this opportunity granted to them by the United States government.
Once non-criminal illegal aliens submit their intent to depart through the CBP Home Mobile App and pass vetting, they will be temporarily deprioritized by ICE for detention or enforcement action before their scheduled departure.
