The initial blow came with the end of CBP One, stranding thousands of asylum seekers with and without appointments

The Trump administration Monday ended use of a border app called CBP One that has allowed nearly 1 million people to legally enter the United States with eligibility to work.

Effective today, the Trump administration has officially terminated the CBP One app's functionalities that previously allowed undocumented migrants to schedule appointments at designated southwest border ports of entry.

The CBP One app, which allowed 1,450 people a day to enter the US on parole, had been a cornerstone of the previous administration’s efforts to manage border crossings

The CBP One app allows migrants in certain parts of Mexico to request a time to be processed by American immigration officials at legal border entry points, also known as ports of entry.

The CBP One app was set up under the Biden administration to create an orderly way for migrants to enter the U.S. and to reduce illegal border crossings.
