Dozens of illegal aliens self-deported to Colombia and Honduras.The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has launched a new chapter in immigration policy with the inaugural charter flight under “Project Homecoming,” a voluntary self-deportation initiative.
On Monday, a flight departed Houston carrying 64 illegal aliens who chose to return to their home countries—38 to Honduras and 26 to Colombia—using the newly introduced CBP Home App.
Project Homecoming is designed to incentivize voluntary departure for illegal aliens residing in the United States. Participants apply through the CBP Home App, a digital platform developed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, to initiate the self-deportation process.
Once approved, individuals receive:
• Free travel assistance, including a charter flight home
• A $1,000 stipend, disbursed upon arrival in their home country
• The possibility to apply for legal entry to the U.S. in the future, preserving their chance for lawful return
