Project Homecoming: Leave or Face Removal
On May 9, 2025, former President Donald Trump issued a proclamation titled Project Homecoming, offering a choice to undocumented immigrants in the United States: voluntarily leave with financial support or face arrest, property seizure, and deportation. The initiative introduces an "Exit Bonus," a CBP Home application to simplify travel, and a large-scale enforcement expansion using deputized officers. The policy frames illegal immigration as a national security and economic crisis, aiming to reclaim sovereignty and reduce taxpayer burdens by incentivizing self-deportation.
