Proclamation 10935—Establishing Project Homecoming

President Donald J. Trump issued a proclamation titled "Establishing Project Homecoming." This action aims to conduct an intensive campaign to remove illegal aliens who have failed to depart voluntarily. It establishes "Project Homecoming," which offers illegal aliens a choice: either leave the United States voluntarily with support and financial assistance from the Federal Government, or remain and face consequences. To facilitate these voluntary departures, the proclamation directs federal agencies to create seamless processes, including through an application, and to fund flights for those who choose to leave permanently. It also directs the creation of a concierge service at airports for individuals to book travel to another country and claim an exit bonus.

This proclamation directly affects illegal aliens or aliens illegally present in the United States. The President states that this action is taken to end what he describes as an invasion, remove illegal-alien invaders, and protect the American people, viewing it as his legal obligation to use all available tools for this purpose. Proclamations like this one can carry the force of law when they are based on specific statutory authority delegated by Congress. However, without such statutory backing, a proclamation serves as an expression of executive policy without binding legal effect on citizens. The legal weight of this particular proclamation depends on the specific statutory authority it invokes.
