Immigrants in the United States illegally are being told to voluntarily self-deport “or remain and face the consequences,” President Donald Trump warned in a new executive order.
Trump signed the order this week establishing Project Homecoming, which will see the federal government provide “financial incentives to encourage and assist aliens illegally in the country to elect to depart from the United States.”
The order directs the Secretary of State and Secretary of Homeland Security to “create a concierge service whereby any alien illegally present in the United States may arrive at an airport, with or without appropriate travel documents, book air travel to permanently relocate to a different country, and claim the exit bonus described in section 2 of this proclamation upon their successful return.”
The Department of Homeland Security previously confirmed the exit bonus would amount to a $1,000 stipend.
It also lays out a 60-day window for people to voluntarily deport. Following that, the directive allows for the Department of Homeland Security to dedicate another 20,000 officers towards conducting an “intensive campaign to remove illegal aliens who have failed to depart voluntarily.”

In the executive order, Trump contends people illegally in the United States cost taxpayers more than $150 billion in 2023 in healthcare, food stamps, public housing, emergency medical services, education and shelter costs.
