Executive Assistant Commissioner Diane J. Sabatino of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) used her official social media account to promote agency initiatives in a series of posts dated February 17 and 18, 2026.
On February 17, Sabatino encouraged those seeking new employment opportunities to participate in an upcoming virtual event, stating, "If you want a career change, join us on February 18, 2026, from 11 AM - 4 PM ET, at our CBP Virtual Career Expo. Register: https://t.co/dl1jRt1SwX https://t.co/FsHjOVrHGf".
The following day, she promoted a new incentive program aimed at individuals considering self-deportation. In her post dated February 18, Sabatino wrote, "FOR A LIMITED TIME: $2,600 EXIT BONUS TO SELF-DEPORT Take control of your situation and self-deport today using the CBP Home app. Avoid detention, forced removal, fines, and receive a free flight home and an exit bonus of $2,600.

Later that same day on February 18, Sabatino reiterated the invitation to the virtual career expo with another post: "Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Join us on today, February 18, 2026, from 11 AM - 4 PM ET, at our CBP Virtual Career Expo. Visit: https://t.co/dl1jRt1SwX https://t.co/y8GHyXmokV".
U.S. Customs and Border Protection regularly hosts virtual career expos as part of its recruitment strategy for various roles within the agency. The introduction of incentives such as exit bonuses for voluntary self-deportation reflects ongoing efforts by federal agencies to manage migration processes through both enforcement measures and voluntary compliance programs.
