Trump Ends CBP One App Allowing Entry to Nearly 1 Million Migrants

President Donald Trump's administration has ended the use of the CBP One app, a border application introduced during President Biden's tenure. The app had allowed more than one million migrants to legally enter the United States by scheduling online appointments for asylum requests at ports of entry and via commercial flights. The shutdown occurred immediately after President Trump took office, and existing appointments have been canceled. A notice on the CBP website reflected the change, using the term 'undocumented alien.' The CBP One app was a key component of the previous administration's strategy to manage migration by providing a legal pathway and reducing illegal crossings. The move to terminate the app aligns with President Trump's immigration policies emphasizing stricter border control.
