Trump administration offers teenage migrants $ 2,500 to leave us voluntarily: reports

The Trump administration now offers teenage migrants a stipend of $ 2,500 to voluntarily leave the United States, according to various reports with a letter sent on Friday by the Ministry of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Office or Refugee To Shorters Housing Migrant Children.

According to the letter seen by Reuters And other points of sale, the department will offer a “one-off resort of $ 2,500” to unaccompanied children aged 14 or older.

Immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) did not confirm the monetary amount of FOX News Digital, but said that not – Considered alien children (UAC) had access to financial support when returning home, should they choose that option.

“Any payment to support a return home would be provided after an immigration judge has granted the request and the person arrives in his country of origin,” said Emily Covington, assistant director of ICE’s Office or Public Affairs, in a statement. She said the offer was first made to 17-year-olds.

Covington said that cartels had traded countless non -collected children in the United States during the Biden administration, and that the Ministry of Interior Security (DHS) and HHS worked diligently to guarantee the safety and well -being of those children.

“Many of these UACs had no choice when they were smuggled dangerously in this country,” she said. “ICE and the office of refugee and resettlement at HHS offer a strictly voluntary option to return home to their families.”

Minors from Mexico are not eligible for the program, but children who had already offered volunteer work to leave the US from Friday, says the letter reportedly.

The corresponding press reported that some proponents of immigration had warned about a broader disposal campaign that they called ‘Freaky Friday’.

Ice rejected that claim, where Covington called it “categorically untrue” and said that the sentence was manufactured to “raise fear and spread wrong information that causes the increased violence that occurs against federal law enforcement.”

The move is part of President Donald Trump’s campaign blax to perform the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.

Last month, DHS said that two million illegal immigrants “have been removed or deported themselves since January 20” from the United States, which means that the Trump administration is at the pace to break records.

In less than 250 days, an estimated 1.6 million illegal immigrants who are voluntarily shared themselves, while 400,000 were removed by federal law enforcement, said the DHS, who describe the situation as a “new milestone”.

In May, Trump signed an executive order in which the very first self -declaration program ever set up that illegal migrants encourage the country to voluntarily leave a free flight and with a cash bonus.

Homeland Security said that migrants each received a stipend of $ 1,000 to leave. The Department said that it is 70% cheaper for American taxpayers, because it currently costs on average DHS to arrest someone, hold and deport.

In June, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs moved $ 250 million to DHS for voluntary deportations.

Shaina Aber, the executive director of the Acacia Center for Justice, a non -profit organization that provides legal defense to immigrants, said in a statement that the $ 2,500 stipends undermine the correct process and can expose children to renewed human trafficking cycles.

She said that some of these children were traded in the US, often by cartels or smugglers, and if they are sent back without guarantees, they could fall back into the hands of the same human traffickers.

“The message of DHS is confusing and seems to be flying in the light of established laws and protocols that the congress has adopted to protect children against cyclical human risks,” Aber said.
