The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced that it is replacing the CBP One app with CBP Home, a tool to support the self-deportation of illegal immigrants.
Acting Commissioner of U.S Customs and Border Protection Pete Flores said in a statement that the app “strengthens our mission to secure the U.S. border by ensuring lawful entry for travelers and supporting effective enforcement.”
“The app provides illegal aliens in the United States with a straightforward way to declare their intent to voluntarily depart, offering them the chance to leave before facing harsher consequences,” he said. “This reinforces our commitment to enforcing U.S. laws and safeguarding national security.”
The app features an “Intent to Depart” function that allows those illegally present in the United States to inform the government of their intention to leave the country.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem told Fox News that the app that the Biden administration “exploited the CBP One App to allow more than 1 million aliens to illegally enter the United States. With the launching of the CBP Home App, we are restoring integrity to our immigration system.”
“The CBP Home App gives aliens the option to leave now and self-deport, so they may still have the opportunity to return legally in the future and live the American dream. If they don’t, we will find them, we will deport them, and they will never return,” she explained.
Homeland Security previously released an ad encouraging illegal aliens to self-deport from the United States.
President Trump has a clear message: if you are here illegally, we will find you and deport you. You will never return. But if you leave now, you may have an opportunity to return and enjoy our freedom and live the American Dream,” Noem said. “If you are a criminal alien considering entering America illegally: Don’t even think about it. If you come here and break our laws, we will hunt you down. Criminals are not welcome in the United States.”
