Trump Administration Launches New Self-Deportation App
The Trump administration has unveiled a controversial new tool aimed at encouraging self-deportation among migrants, repurposing the existing CBP One app. Originally designed for asylum seekers to schedule appointments, the app now features a function that prompts users to initiate their own deportation process. This significant policy shift was announced on March 10, 2025, and has sparked a heated debate over immigration enforcement strategies.
The revamped app, now called 'Leave Now', includes step-by-step guidance on how individuals can voluntarily leave the United States. Critics argue that this move pressures vulnerable populations and may lead to increased self-deportations out of fear or misinformation. Supporters of the administration believe it will help streamline immigration processes and reduce the burden on border enforcement agencies.
The Department of Homeland Security has stated that the app is part of a broader effort to manage immigration more efficiently. However, the initiative has drawn criticism from human rights organizations and immigration advocates, who see it as an attempt to bypass legal protections for asylum seekers and other migrants.
