2025.05.05: DOJ - Message to Illegal Aliens: A Warning to Self-Deport Flyer
A new DOJ flyer titled “Message to Illegal Aliens: A Warning to Self-Deport” has surfaced in immigration-court communications and courthouses across the U.S., through DOJ's Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR). Available in English and Spanish, it outlines the supposed benefits of self-deportation—such as leaving “on your own terms,” keeping earned income, and receiving subsidized travel—while warning of consequences like daily fines up to $1,000, jail time, and “immediate deportation” by ICE. It promotes the CBP Home mobile app as a “safe” way to self-deport and offers a $1,000 stipend as an incentive. The flyer makes no distinction between immigrants with final removal orders and those potentially eligible for relief such as asylum or cancellation of removal, and omits any mention of the right to appeal a removal order.
