The program also promises forgiveness of civil fines or penalties for failing to depart and includes assistance with travel (tickets); officials say it applies to those not detained as well as some detained individuals without criminal charges. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem framed the incentive as triple the earlier $1,000 stipend introduced in May, saying roughly 1.9 million people have self-deported since January 2025 and tens of thousands used the app. The declaration warned that those who do not leave voluntarily face arrest, deportation, and permanent inadmissibility.
