Establishing Project Homecoming

The order directs federal agencies to establish Project Homecoming, which aims to encourage undocumented immigrants to voluntarily leave the United States with financial assistance from the Federal Government. The Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security are instructed to create processes, including the use of technology like the "CBP Home" application, to facilitate the rapid departure of the undocumented. The order also includes the provision of financial incentives or "exit bonuses" for each alien who voluntarily departs. It also mandates a communications campaign to inform aliens about these options and the consequences of choosing to stay without documentation.
