The Trump administration has introduced the CBP Home app, a new platform designed to replace the CBP One app and facilitate the self-deportation of individuals in the U.S. illegally, Customs and Border Protection announced.

The app, known as CBP Home, allows migrants to submit an "intent to depart", which US Customs and Border Patrol says offers them a chance to leave without "harsher consequences". US officials have repeatedly suggested that undocumented migrants in the country should leave voluntarily,

The Trump administration has unveiled an overhauled cellphone app once used to let migrants apply for asylum, turning it into a system that allows people living illegally in the U.S. to say they want to leave the country voluntarily.

Migrants hoping to avoid harsh consequences can convey their plans to voluntarily leave using a revised mobile app.
