According to Kristi Noem, to receive the payment, it is necessary to use the CBP Home mobile application, which was launched by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Funds will be transferred only after the migrant's return to their home country is recorded.
Recall that in May of this year, the Department of Homeland Security launched a voluntary departure program, under which illegal immigrants could receive $1,000, as well as compensation for the cost of their airline ticket. The department explained that this measure allows saving about $17,100, which would otherwise be needed for the search, detention, and forced deportation of migrants.
