DHS announced that it successfully conducted its first Project Homecoming flight—"a voluntary charter flight from Houston, TX, to Honduras and Colombia," with 26 participants returned to Colombia and 38 to Honduras. DHS stated that "[a]ll participants were offered the same benefits as any illegal alien who self-deports using the CBP Home App. They received travel assistance, a $1,000 stipend, and preserved the possibility they could one day return to the United States legally." DHS also noted that returnees benefited from social services and reintegration support provided by their respective home state governments.
