The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has introduced a unique holiday initiative aimed at encouraging illegal immigrants to self-deport, branding it as a “holiday deal of a lifetime.”
In a promotion reminiscent of the 1990s “Cyber Monday” sales, DHS revealed that undocumented individuals in the United States could take advantage of a free flight back to their home country and receive an additional $1,000 if they choose to leave voluntarily. Those who participate may also have any civil fines or penalties waived, which could pave the way for a legal return to the U.S. in the future.
This special offer can be accessed through the CBP Home App, as announced by the department.
“The CBP Home App presents an incredible opportunity for those residing illegally in the U.S. this holiday season: a complimentary flight back home, a $1,000 incentive, and the potential to return legally,” stated Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin.
The initiative marks DHS’s launch of a Cyber Monday deal through the CBP Home App, providing illegal immigrants with a compelling reason to self-deport.
McLaughlin told Fox News Digital in a statement Monday that the Cyber Monday promotion was made possible through the “generosity” and “Christmas spirit” of the American taxpayer.
DHS added that 2 million illegal immigrants have already self-deported under the Trump administration, calling the new program the “best gift that an illegal immigrant can give themselves and their family.”
“Your choice is simple: Choose self-deportation and reap the rewards, or stay here and continue breaking our laws, which will lead to you being arrested and deported,” McLaughlin added. “Make the right choice for you and your family this Christmas and join the 2 million illegal aliens who have already left the country: Download the CBP Home App today.”

The CBP Home App is a fast, free, and easy process, DHS said. Illegal immigrants can simply download the app, enter their information and DHS will handle the rest — including arranging and covering the cost of their travel back home.
Once the immigrant has confirmed their return home, they will receive the $1,000 bonus, DHS said. The department emphasized that using the app also preserves the opportunity for immigrants to potentially return to the United States legally.
McLaughlin told Fox News Digital that when the process runs efficiently, an immigrant could secure a free flight home in just over a week. She urged deportees to provide accurate information to receive their stipend as quickly as possible.
“An individual can depart within 10 days if all of their information is accurate in the CBP Home app, they respond to outreach attempts, and agree to have their ticket booked as soon as possible,” McLaughlin said in a statement. “However, their travel and stipend may be delayed due to various factors including incomplete or inaccurate data, ineligibility, or not having a valid travel document to return home. The exit bonus will be provided upon confirmation through the app that return has been completed.”

“Those 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,” DHS said. “Don’t delay and don’t miss out on this opportunity. Download the CBP Home App today.”
McLaughlin emphasized that the deal is part of the “historic work to reverse the illegal alien invasion facilitated by the Biden administration.”
“President Trump established the visionary Project Homecoming in May to create a smooth, efficient process for illegal aliens to return home,” McLaughlin told Fox News Digital in a statement. “So far, tens of thousands of illegal aliens have utilized the CBP Home app.”
