The Donald Trump administration is offering up to Ksh336,000 to undocumented immigrants, including Kenyans, to encourage voluntary self-deportation from the United States. This incentive, announced by the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS), aims to reduce the number of illegal immigrants in the country.

• Illegal immigrants can receive Ksh336,000 and a free flight by signing up through the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) app.
• Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated that 2.2 million illegal aliens have voluntarily self-deported since January 2025.
• The program is a cost-saving measure, with self-deportation costing Ksh659,328 compared to Ksh2.3 million for an enforced deportation.
• The crackdown prioritizes individuals with criminal records and those posing national security threats; 15 Kenyans were recently listed among 'worst of the worst' illegal aliens for various offenses.
