CBP Home app

Tennessee taxpayers are projected to pay about $1,961 each to fund mass deportation policies associated with the Trump administration, according to an analysis by the Economic Policy Institute. This estimate shows Tennessee's residents would contribute nearly $4.5 billion of a total cost estimated at $268.9 billion through the end of President Donald Trump’s term. In response, the Department of Homeland Security stated that illegal immigration costs taxpayers over $150 billion each year.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) offers TPS holders from Haiti and Syria a US$2,600 cash payment and free one-way flight to voluntarily leave the U.S. through the CBP Home app. The program targets individuals whose Temporary Protected Status (TPS) is ending or expired, provided they have no serious criminal record.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued 103,000 civil fines totaling $84 billion to illegal immigrants under the Trump administration, with $1.2 billion collected in payments. The administration imposed $998 daily fines for those with removal orders and promoted self-deportation via the CBP Home app, resulting in 3 million departures, including 2.2 million self-deportations, and nearly 900,000 deportations.

Pop star Olivia Rodrigo expressed anger over the Department of Homeland Security using her song in a video urging illegal immigrants to self-deport. She called the agency's actions 'barbaric' and condemned the use of her music in the propaganda. The video, which featured her 2023 hit 'All-American B----', was later edited to remove the audio.

The Trump administration reports that over 3 million illegal immigrants have left the U.S. in his first year back in office, including 2.2 million self-deportations through the CBP Home app. Border apprehensions have dropped 94% from Biden's monthly average, with the administration crediting tougher enforcement policies and a deterrence effect on illegal immigration attempts.
