DHS Offers Illegal Immigrants $1,000 To Self-Deport As Liberal City Burns

Jun 12, 2025

The Department of Homeland Security announced Monday that it will provide illegal immigrants with a $1,000 exit bonus if they self-deport.

“Today, DHS is announcing illegal aliens who self-deport through the CBP Home App will receive forgiveness of any failure to depart fines, in addition to cost-free travel and a $1,000 exit bonus,” the department posted on their official X account. “By self-deporting, illegal aliens take control of their departure and may preserve the opportunity to come back to the U.S. the right and legal way in the future.”

The move came amid ongoing violent riots throughout Los Angeles, California, where local and state-level lawmakers are seemingly condoning the ongoing chaos because they think it is President Donald Trump’s fault for trying to deport illegal immigrants.

What Is Happening In Los Angeles?

Parts of this article first appeared on The Modern Memo.

Riots erupted on Friday after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted a series of raids throughout the city. LA is a hotbed for illegal immigration, largely linked to the skyrocketing rates of human trafficking, child and adult sex-slave trafficking, and generalized slavery throughout the city, issues that have yet to be addressed by any of LA’s political leadership. 

As ICE raids started, countless residents of LA used the opportunity to start looting shops, according to reports shared by Los Angeles Police Departments. While the mainstream news media is calling these riots “protests,” tell us if any of these videos and images look like protests to you.

Footage shared on X shows police cars burning in the middle of the street. Another showed a person wearing a Palestinian Keffiyeh appearing to throw something burning onto police officers and vehicles. (MORE NEWS: Hurricane Warnings Ramp Up For Summer With ‘Above Normal’ Forecast)

National Guard Gets Involved

During the George Floyd riots, locals wanted the National Guard to be deployed. The level of violence and domestic terrorism was not unseen by LA standards, but was certainly enough to require a far greater response than they received.

The violence gained momentum so quickly that President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard just one day later, according to the Daily Caller News Foundation. Trump’s swift actions to protect the city from the violence led California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom to threaten to sue his administration, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Great American Revival

Are you part of the Great American Revival? While many people think that this mass spiritual movement bringing God’s light to millions is purely social, there are many Christian leaders stepping up to bring His word to our political landscape. Do you know how your pastor feels about politics? (RELATED: Pastors Must ‘Make It Clear To Our People’ That Anti-Parent Transgender Laws Come From ‘One Political Party’)

Your Sunday service doesn’t have to be political, but your day-to-day life outside of His four walls will always be dictated — in large part — by your elected officials. Ignorance of politics is like handing over control of your life to the greediest, most power-hungry serpent in the room. When we Use Our Voice, we bring a more Biblical worldview to our nation.

Contact Your Reps To Protect America’s Future

It seems like every time we at Million Voices speak to lawmakers and their teams, they all tell us the same thing: if just 10 people in their district write them letters about issues that matter to them, they know they have a serious crisis on their hands. A thousand people could message that same lawmaker via email or social media, and it would mean nothing. But hand-written, or even printed and signed letters, will make your politicians take action (if they really care about your vote, that is).

Contacting your representatives should be easy, but there are myriad ways they can ignore your messages. That’s where we come in. 

Yes, Million Voices helps you with voter guides. Yes, we send letters from YOU directly to your elected officials because it’s the only way to guarantee they’ll listen to you. Yes, we publish data, articles, text messages, and help bridge the gap between education and civic action. But what do you want? Tell us today.

We want to make YOU the hero of our American story by giving you the tools you need to make a difference, from your local, state, all the way up to the federal level.

Join us in our mission to advocate for religious freedom, support fair and secure elections, and uphold the values that this great nation was built upon. Tell us what you want from the next four years, and we will fight to make it a reality … again!
