It’s part of a “Holiday Deal” that ceases by the end of the year.

Homeland Security has a cool $3000 Holiday season offer for any illegal immigrant who wants to voluntarily leave the country, with not much hassle and some cash in their pocket. Now.
But here’s the catch: they must self-deport by the end of this year.
According to a story by The Epoch Times, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is offering three times the cash to illegal immigrants who voluntarily depart the United States through a smartphone app as part of a “holiday deal.”
“Since January 2025, 1.9 million illegal aliens have voluntarily self-deported and tens of thousands have used the CBP Home program,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a Dec. 22 statement.
“During the Christmas Season, the U.S. taxpayer is so generously TRIPLING the incentive to leave voluntarily for those in this country illegally—offering a $3,000 exit bonus, but just until the end of the year.”
Noem added, “Illegal aliens should take advantage of this gift and self-deport because if they don’t, we will find them, we will arrest them, and they will never return.”

The “Holiday Deal” bests an earlier DHS deal that was unveiled for illegal immigrants to self-deport through the CBP One app, which permits them to receive $1,000 from the federal government upon leaving the United States. It also pardons any immigration-related fines or penalties they may have incurred.
The CBP Home app is a way for people to go away without having to put up with the hassle of dealing with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The app replaced the CBP One program that was used under the Biden administration, which permitted people to schedule hearings with immigration judges and to enter the United States before it was suspended by the White House in January.
The DHS said this past week that more than 2.5 million illegal immigrants have left the United States since President Donald Trump was sworn into office for a second time, with 1.9 million voluntarily leaving and more than 600,000 deportations.
Immigration enforcement has been ramped up as President Donald Trump has signed numerous orders related to both immigration and border security. The president has said that it’s needed after record numbers of illegal immigrants were encountered by agents or entered the United States under the Biden administration.
