The Trump administration is offering teen migrants a $2,500 stipend to leave the United States voluntarily, according to reports citing a letter sent by the Department of Homeland Security, in an effort to deter asylum seekers. The offer aims to incentivize young immigrants to depart the country without requiring them to go through the lengthy and often contentious process of seeking asylum. Details about the program's eligibility criteria and requirements are not yet clear. The move has sparked concerns among advocacy groups that it may be a thinly veiled attempt to discourage vulnerable migrants from seeking assistance.
