First Trump $1,000 ‘self-deport’ flight conducted by DHS
- On May 19, 2025, a voluntary charter flight operated under a government program departed from Houston, Texas, carrying 64 immigrants who chose to return to their home countries of Honduras and Colombia.
- This flight was part of Project Homecoming, launched to offer undocumented migrants $1,000 stipends and a safe return option via the CBP Home app amid President Trump's push for higher deportations.
- The 38 Hondurans, including up to 19 children, landed in San Pedro Sula and received $1,000 debit cards, while migrants may still apply for legal U.S. Entry in the future.
- Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem encouraged undocumented migrants to participate in the program, warning that failure to do so could result in legal penalties, removal from the country, and a permanent ban on reentry, although analysts predict only a small number will take part.
- The initiative aims to lower deportation costs and promote orderly returns, but groups like AILA warn the program may mislead migrants about legal risks and hardships involved.
