Project Homecoming, a nearly $1 billion DHS program offering stipends up to $2,600 and free flights, has facilitated 72,000 self-deportations as of March 2026. The Trump administration credits the program as more cost-effective than traditional deportation proceedings. The majority of participants were already in ICE detention when they enrolled, and the program also repurposed the CBP Home app to process departures, though detailed usage data remains unclear.
