It is part of Trump administration’s wider campaign encouraging illegal immigrants to voluntarily leave the United States.
DHS has promoted the campaign using the slogan “Self-deport or find out.”
“If you approach this nation with hostile intent, know this. We will defend ourselves. We will defend Americanism. “‘Singhs’ are Hindu, they are Sikhs, they are American, and they drive.
“Millions of Sikhs in the United States have the last name Singh, which means lion. Those registering for self-deportation can receive travel assistance and an exit bonus of USD 2,600, according to the DHS.
We will defend our home,” the DHS said in a post on X. Racist, un-American, anti-Indian profiling/trolling by @DHSgov should shock our nation’s collective conscience,” the Hindu American Foundation (HAF) said in a post on X. “This is a discriminatory post by a federal agency that is far beyond political messaging, and we welcome an investigation,” the HAF said, tagging Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K Dhillon and FBI Director Kash Patel. “Twenty-five years after 9/11, Sikhs are *still* being targeted and profiled for how we look,” the Sikh Coalition said in a post on X. We remain fearless in identifying as Sikhs – even when our government portrays us as enemies,” the Sikh Coalition said.
