The Department of Homeland Security announced on December 22, 2025, it is now offering a $3,000 holiday stipend and free flights home to illegal immigrants in the US who self-deport using the CBP Home app by the end of the year, according to a DHS news release shared by Kellie Meyer on X during the reporting window from 3:16 PM to 3:46 PM UTC. The incentive program, titled "Increased Incentives: DHS Now Offering $3K Holiday Stipend Through End of the Year Via the CBP Home App," aims to encourage voluntary departures before January 1, as stated in the official DHS statement posted at https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/12/22/increased-incentives-dhs-now-offering-3k-holiday-stipend-through-end-year-cbp-home. In a separate post during the same 29-minute window, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene shared facts about Venezuela on X, noting its predominantly Catholic population with strict abortion laws except to save the mother's life, President Maduro's criticism of Israel, and opposition leader Maria Corina Machado's support for Israel and more left-leaning views on abortion and LGBTQ issues, according to her X post at https://x.com/RepMTG/status/2003112719952621839.
