The federal government will facilitate and pay for the self-deportation of those who have entered the country illegally, while operations will continue to target gang members and violent criminals, President Donald Trump told Fox Noticias host Rachel Campos-Duffy in an interview filmed at the White House that aired on April 15.

The president said that stipends, including plane tickets and money, could help incentivize illegal immigrants to leave and pursue legal status.
