According to the Associated Press on the 15th (local time), President Trump stated in an interview with Fox News that the current administration is focusing on expelling "murderers" from the United States and expressed his intention to introduce a "self-deportation program."

The self-deportation program refers to providing support to illegal immigrants who voluntarily leave the country to facilitate their return to the United States.

President Trump explained, "I will provide money and plane tickets to good illegal immigrants" and said, "If they want, we will support their return to the United States as soon as possible so they can work together."

However, he is said to have not provided further details on the specific support measures.
