Independent deportation? “The best gift”, argue the authorities
Since the beginning of 2025, 1.9 million people staying in the United States without appropriate documents have decided to self-deport, according to data provided by the US Department of Homeland Security. “This holiday season, self-deportation is the best gift an illegal immigrant can give himself and his family.” — says the ministry's announcement, which praises the process as “fast, free and easy.”
The initiative is part of the harsh migration policy of President Donald Trump's administrationwhich from the beginning of his term has focused on significantly limiting illegal immigration and increasing pressure on people staying in the US without documents. During his first months in office, Trump announced one of the largest deportation operations in the country's history, in which federal immigration authorities have arrested and removed tens of thousands of people from the country, and authorities have warned local governments against refusing to cooperate with federal authorities in this regard. Additionally, the administration promoted government campaigns and applications encouraging migrants to voluntarily leave the U.S., offering, among other things, free return and logistic support, like the latest one announced by Kristi Noem.
