Donald Trump is again urging illegal immigrants to leave the U.S. on their own volition. In a minute-and-a-half video, the president details how those in the country illegally who remove themselves voluntarily will be able to return in the future through legal pathways.

But, Trump said, if they refuse to do so then those deported by the government will never be allowed to return to the U.S. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has repurposed the CBP One app used by Joe Biden 's administration to allow migrants to create appointments for officials to hear their asylum claims.

Now the app has been renamed CBP Home and Trump says it provides 'an easy way to leave now and self-deport voluntarily.' 'If they do, they could potentially have the opportunity to return legally at some point in the future,' Trump said in his straight-to-camera remarks from the Oval Office.

He continued: 'But if they do not avail themselves of this opportunity, then they will be found, they will be deported, and they will never be admitted again to the United States, ever, ever again – you're never coming in.'

Meanwhile, some federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are under fire for surrounding a vehicle and breaking the window during an operation in Spokane Valley, Washington this month. After footage of the incident went viral and led some to question whether their agents actions were legal as the women, her wife and her brother-in-law repeatedly asked why they were being stopped and if there was a warrant.

Trump's latest self-deportation announcement, posted by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and the White House on Tuesday, comes days after roughly 250 gang members and leaders with Tren de Aragua (TdA) and MS-13 were flown out of the U.S. to El Salvador.

El Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele agreed to let these gang members be imprisoned at the notorious maximum security mega-prison Center for Terrorism Confinement (CECOT) in his country.

Additionally, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), Homeland Security Investigation (HSI) and local law enforcement partners are carrying out raids across the country to arrest and deport those in the U.S. illegally. The new CBP Home initiative provides undocumented immigrants an alternative option to take themselves out of the U.S. and return through legal channels.

'The CBP Home app is now available free across all mobile app stores, and I encourage those who have violated our laws to use this option today,' Trump said in his video. He warned: 'Do it right and come back into our country, do it wrong and you'll never be back again.'
