The United States will offer undocumented immigrants $3,000 to leave the country voluntarily by the end of the calendar year, tripling the current payment provided to those who self-deport, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said.

DHS described the increased payment as a “limited-time offer,” part of a holiday-season campaign aimed at accelerating removals and encouraging voluntary departures.

As part of the campaign, DHS released a poster warning that authorities were “checking names off our naughty list,” adding: “Don’t be the next name we find.”

The voluntary departure incentive is designed to reduce enforcement costs and ease pressure on the immigration system, officials have said, though critics argue such messaging risks stigmatizing migrants and oversimplifying complex immigration issues.
