LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -The Trump administration is offering unaccompanied migrant children $2,500 to leave the U.S. voluntarily, according to a letter seen by Reuters that was sent to migrant shelters.

Officials at the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed a monetary offer was being made but did not specify an amount.

The move is the latest financial offer made by the DHS under President Donald Trump aimed at encouraging voluntary deportations. In June, the State Department moved $250 million to DHS for voluntary deportations with the administration offering a $1,000 stipend to migrants who “self deported.”
