What is Trump’s Self-Deportation Executive Order?

On May 9, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an Executive Order (“EO”) aimed at incentivizing undocumented migrants to voluntarily leave the United States in exchange for a cash bonus and a free flight.

The EO, entitled Project Homecoming authorizes the U.S. government to pay a $1000 stipend for a one-way plane ticket to any foreign country of their choice.

According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”), it costs an average of $17,000 to arrest, detain and deport an undocumented migrant. The program, which may be challenged in the federal courts, is estimated to save, according to the Trump Administration, billions of dollars in government expenses as Trump continues to push the administration’s mass deportation policy.

Those interested in self-deportation should use the CBP One App. The CBP One App, which was previously used by the Biden Administration to expedite migrants to schedule appointments at official ports of entry before they were paroled into the United States, ended on January 20, 2025- the day Trump was sworn in as the 47th President. The CBO One App is now being used to encourage those in the United States illegally to depart on their own.

What Is A Form I-94? Understanding the U.S. Arrival/ Departure Records

Following arrival in the United States, visitors (i.e. nonimmigrant visa holders, those from visa-free countries) are issued a Form I-94 which determines allocated length of stay. The Form I-94 used to be a paper form attached to the visitor’s passport. Now it is saved electronically on the Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) website. Unfortunately, many visitors overlook the Form I-94 which actually controls how long they can remain in the country. The Form I-94 is the official record that proves a visitor entered the U.S. lawfully at a Port-of-Entry (“POE”). It also shows exactly how long the visitor is allowed to remain. This guide explains what the Form I-94 is, why it matters, how to access it, and what to do if something is wrong. Why is a Form I-94 Important? The Form I-94 does more than confirm your entry into the United States. A visitor will need it for

Age Determination For Children Of Alien Investors

Section 203(h) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1153(h)) was amended by the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (“RIA”) to clarify how in some instances the age of children of investors is determined during participation in the EB-5 program. Under the RIA and the amendment to Section 203(h)(5), an investor’s “child” who has reached 21 years of age and was admitted as a Conditional Permanent Resident as the child of an investor lawfully admitted for permanent residence under subsection (b)(5) will continue to be considered a child of the principal petitioner. Most importantly, this continued classification as a “child” is maintained for any subsequent EB-5 Form I-526 Petition, provided specific conditions are met. It may be interesting to note that under U.S. immigration laws, a “child” is defined as any offspring of a parent that is under 21 years old. Once a “child” turns 21, then
