The Department of Homeland Security more than doubled the cash incentive for illegal immigrants to leave the United States through a self-deportation process, raising the offer from $1,000 to $2,600.

Illegal immigrants who voluntarily self-deport through the CBP Home app will receive the increased stipend and a free flight home, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced on Wednesday.
