Will give $1,000 to people who use the CBP home app to return to their home countries. The money will allegedly be paid after they confirm their arrival through the app. They say this is a way to make it cheaper to remove people from the U.S. according to DHS, it costs $17,000 to arrest, detain and remove one person. But questions remain on the effectiveness of the program. Immigra Immigrants advocates say there is an incentive for immigrants to trust the administration will follow through on payments or the promise that they can return. Currently, someone may have to wait 10 years before trying to return. An illegal entry could adversely affect a future immigration application. Ximena Bustillo, NPR News, Washington.

Diddy Combs appeared in court wearing a dark sweater over a collared shirt. He sat with his attorneys as Judge Arun Subramanian spoke with potential jurors. The judge asked a wide range of questions, including whether any have had personal experiences with sexual abuse, whether they had read or heard any information about the accusations against Combs and even what kind of music they listened to. Many jurors responded that they had seen headlines, screengrabs or videos about Combs and the allegations. In this case, the judge reminded them that Combs, who has pleaded not guilty on all charges, is presumed innocent until proven guilty by the evidence in the trial. Isabela Gomez Sarmiento, NPR News.
