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.

Can I travel outside the U.S. and return after my I-829 is denied?

Traveling outside the United States after a Form I-829 Petition by Investor to Remove Conditions on Permanent Resident Status (“I-829 Petition”) denial is highly risky and strongly discouraged. While you, the investor and your family members, legally retain your Conditional Lawful Permanent Resident (“CPR”) status until a final administrative order of removal is issued by an immigration judge, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) enforces strict border policies, although improper, that can challenge your ability to return. Filing the I-829 Petition is the final step for investors in the U.S. EB-5 immigrant investor visa program. An approval of the I-829 Petition removes the two-year conditional restrictions on an investor’s residency, granting lawful permanent resident status, and allowing the investor, their spouse, and unmarried children under 21 to receive a 10-year “Green Card”. The denial of the I-829 Petition does not immediately result in loss of an investor’s CPR status. The

Regional Center Job Creation under the RIA

When evaluating whether an EB-5 investment meets the requirement that an investor create at least 10 jobs for qualified U.S. workers, there is now more guidance under the RIA than before. In general, an investment in a business sponsored by a Regional Center does not require all qualifying jobs come from employees hired directly by the business. Indirect and induced job creation based on approved methodologies remains the core of the Regional Center program advantage. As before the RIA, investors may rely on economically and statistically valid methodologies to determine the number of jobs attributable to the investment. These methodologies may be used to support estimates of directly created jobs and, where permitted under the statute, jobs created directly or indirectly through capital expenditures, increased export revenues, enhanced regional productivity, and broader domestic capital investment generated by the project. However, indirect job creation is now lightly restricted with only a
