It’s hard to document how many immigrants might be choosing to leave under pressure from the Trump administration. The group, Onward, was started by three DACA recipients who moved abroad during the first Trump administration. Voluntary departure is also an option to settle immigration court cases, and more people are taking that route. In those cases, immigrants must pay their own way and can’t have a conviction for a serious crime. Choosing voluntary departure can get immigrants released from detention and avoid a removal order that could cause them to be permanently barred from returning.
