The application replacing the Biden-era CBP One app includes a feature that allows migrants to inform officials that they plan to “self-deport.”
“All CBP One apps will update to the new CBP Home app,” Fox News reported about the new app launched by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that includes a “submit intent to depart” option for those in the country illegally.
“The Biden Administration exploited the CBP One App to allow more than 1 million aliens to illegally enter the United States. With the launching of the CBP Home App, we are restoring integrity to our immigration system,” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement.
“The CBP Home app gives aliens the option to leave now and self-deport, so they may still have the opportunity to return legally in the future and live the American dream. If they don’t, we will find them, we will deport them, and they will never return.”

Thousands of illegal migrants were paroled into the U.S. thanks to the Biden administration’s use and expansion of the CBP One app.
“According to CBP data, roughly 40-50 thousand migrants were entering the US every month via the CBP One app during the Biden administration, totaling nearly one million by the end of his presidency,” Fox News reporter Bill Melugin noted on X.
“Trump ended the use of the CBP One app to parole migrants on his first day in office. His administration has also paused applications for parole programs, and allowed ICE to cancel parole statuses of migrants,” Fox News reported. “Last month, Noem ended the use of CBP One to allow migrants to board domestic flights, unless it is being used for their self-deportation. The administration has also canceled extensions for Temporary Protected Status for some nationalities.”
