ICE FOIA DATA: VOLUNTARY DEPARTURES SURGE UNDER TRUMP—4,241 IN JULY AS CBP HOME APP, $1,000 INCENTIVES ROLL OUT

FOIA-released ICE data show 145,419 removals from detention through July 31, 2025, with confirmed voluntary departures rising from 592 in February to 4,241 in July. The trend roughly coincides with the repurposing of CBP One into the CBP Home app and reported incentives for self-deportation. DHS touts large-scale departures and safety gains, while experts note inconsistent public reporting, capacity limits, and unresolved questions about the app’s exact role in driving departures.
