Self-deportation

Self-deportation is an anti-immigration political policy, used mainly in the United States and the United Kingdom, that promotes the voluntary departure of immigrants from their host country. It is defined by domestic policies that make quality of life and access to jobs and public services difficult for non-citizens or illegal immigrants, and otherwise aggressive immigration policies that allow for an inadmissible person to permanently depart the host country on their own (or "self-deport") rather than face prosecution for immigration-related offenses. Self-deportation became associated with illegal immigration to the United States in the 1990s and later prominently became an official policy of the second presidency of Donald Trump in 2025.
