The Trump administration has initiated a new deportation strategy called "Project Homecoming," which offers undocumented immigrants a $1,000 stipend and free flights to voluntarily leave the United States. The first charter flight under this program departed from Houston on May 19, 2025, carrying 64 immigrants who agreed to self-deport. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security oversees the initiative. While the program aims to encourage voluntary departures, critics argue that it pressures migrants through the threat of fines and bans on re-entry.
