Summary
Nearly 90,000 immigrants chose voluntary departure during Trump’s final term—seven times more than under Biden—often because detention conditions, especially without bond, became unbearable. Courts in Texas and Louisiana upheld these harsh policies, while human rights groups warn of overcrowded, unsanitary facilities where 51 people have died since Trump took office. Voluntary departure lets folks pay to leave and avoid deportation bans, offering a grim but sometimes only option amid ICE’s push for a million annual deportations.
