Trump administration to pay illegal immigrants $1,000 to leave

The American government is also in talks with Rwanda about a deal to take in migrants deported from the US

The Trump administration has announced plans to pay immigrants living illegally in the United States to leave the country.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said that it would pay $1,000 to those that left voluntarily. They would also receive travel assistance and those who used an app to tell officials that they planned to return home would be “deprioritised” for detention and removal by immigration enforcement agents.
