HHS oversees a network of shelters where these minors are housed until they turn 18 or can be placed with a sponsor, who historically has been a U.S.-based relative.<\/p>\n<p>But now, CBP officials have been directed to offer unaccompanied migrant children who are 14 or older the option to self-deport to their countries of origin, the officials said. If the teenagers take that option, U.S. immigration officials would facilitate their prompt return to their native countries. If not, the teens would still be transferred to HHS&#8217; Office of Refugee Resettlement.<\/p>\n<p>That voluntary departure policy was previously limited to unaccompanied children from Canada and Mexico. A 2008 anti-trafficking law, the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, provided special legal protections for migrant children from &#8220;noncontiguous&#8221; countries, including barring officials from swiftly deporting these minors.<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Homeland Security <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/ice-funding-big-beautiful-bill-trump-deportations\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">said new authorities<\/a><\/span> in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act spending law allowed the Trump administration to make the policy change.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is a long-standing practice used to prioritize getting children back to the safety of a parent or legal guardian in their home country and is accredited in the Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2022,&#8221; DHS said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The only change pursuant to the Big Beautiful Bill is expanding this option to return home to UACs from additional countries beyond Mexico and Canada,&#8221; the department added.<\/p>\n<p>The policy change was first reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2025\/07\/23\/politics\/migrant-kids-self-deport\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">CNN<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s unclear how many migrant teenagers will be affected by the recent directive. The number of migrants crossing the U.S. southern border illegally has <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/unlawful-crossings-along-southern-border-reach-new-historic-low\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">plunged to levels not seen since the 1960s<\/a><\/span> amid the Trump administration&#8217;s crackdown. In June, for example, Border Patrol apprehended 6,000 migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border, a record monthly low that included fewer than 700 unaccompanied children.<\/p>\n<p>The administration has <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/ice-deportations-trump-six-months\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">moved aggressively to deport<\/a><\/span> immigrants living in the U.S. illegally or whose legal status has been revoked, ramping up operations to arrest, detain and deport them.<\/p>\n<p>But it has also <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/u-s-offers-migrants-free-airline-tickets-and-1000-stipend-if-they-self-deport\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">launched a massive push<\/a><\/span> to encourage unauthorized immigrants to self-deport, offering them a $1,000 self-deportation bonus and threatening them with arrest, fines and prosecution if they remain in the U.S. illegally.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \">\n<p><h3 class=\"component__title\">More from CBS News<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/camilo-montoya-galvez\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Camilo  Montoya-Galvez<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Camilo Montoya-Galvez is the immigration reporter at CBS News.
