The efforts come as the number of deportations is lower than what President Donald Trump expected in his first couple of months in office after making the issue a key campaign promise.
Main Idea: The Trump administration is using a new app and ad campaign to push undocumented immigrants to self-deport.
Key Points:
DHS ads and self-deport tools may pressure undocumented families to leave, which could hurt workers, schools, and local businesses and may reduce trust in government.
Taxpayers may face lower enforcement costs if more people leave on their own, and immigration courts could see less strain.
