Trump Admin Launches Self-Deportation App For Illegal Migrants

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : Over 900,000 foreign nationals successfully scheduled appointments through CBP One from January 2023 through the end of December 2024, according to Customs and Border Protection.
55% : Under this expansion, the app enabled asylum seekers to schedule appointments to obtain exemptions at ports of entry and permitted them to submit biometric data to federal immigration authorities in order to apply for travel authorization and obtain parole.
47% : Self-deportation, DHS argued, is the "safest" option for illegal migrants that forgoes them being arrested at large in the community and saves vital time and resources for federal immigration authorities.
29% : Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called on illegal migrants to use the updated app and to leave the U.S. of their own volition -- or else face deportation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and never be allowed to return to the U.S. "The Biden Administration exploited the CBP One app to allow more than 1 million aliens to illegally enter the United States," Noem said in a Monday press release.
