Trump's CBP Home App: Book Deportation & Get $1,000 Bonus Disappearing Act!
Meet Pérez, a 25-year-old Venezuelan mom in Chicago, juggling kids, vanished plane tickets, and a $1,000 exit bonus promised by Trump’s May 2025 Social Media promo for Project Homecoming — the 'easy-peasy illegal alien escape plan.' While dad was unceremoniously deported post-traffic stop, Pérez downloaded the CBP Home app, dreaming of a safe trip back to Venezuela. Months later? Nada. Call the 'free toll number' continuously, get ghosted or vague replies about 'delayed travel docs' requiring Maduro’s mysterious salvoconducto. DHS waves hands, says it’s trying since May’s proclamation, but the State Department plays dodgeball. And oh yes, 25,000 folks left via this dodgey app — half aided by Uncle Sam, half self-exciled — while the Venezuelan president prepares for possible US invasion paranoia, and 10,200 deportees rocked flight logs. A bureaucratic Titanic with a $1,000 carrot on a stick!
