The Trump administration is offering a new financial incentive for undocumented immigrants who voluntarily leave the country, this time targeting minors who crossed the border alone without a parent or guardian.

The program offers a one-time $2,500 payment to unaccompanied migrant teenagers 14 and older, but the money would only be paid after they return to their home country.

According to a memo obtained by the Scripps News Group in San Diego, the self-deportation payment option requires approval from an immigration judge. The offer represents the latest move by President Trump to encourage undocumented immigrants to return home voluntarily.

Unaccompanied children are minors who entered the country illegally without an adult such as a parent or legal guardian.
