The CBP One entry programme, instituted by President Joe Biden, had allowed thousands of migrants to schedule appointments at entry points across the US-Mexico border.
The Trump administration has ended use of the border app called CBP One that allowed nearly 1 million people to legally enter the United States.
In a move fulfilling one of now-President Donald Trump’s campaign promises, the Trump administration shuttered the use of CBP One, a President Joe Biden-era app meant to help process migrants seeking to apply for asylum in the U.S.
The CBP One app has been wildly popular. It is an online lottery system to give appointments to 1,450 people a day at eight border crossings.
CBP One, a border app that has allowed nearly 1 million people to legally enter the United States with eligibility to work, was abruptly shut down on Monday, shortly after President-elect Donald Trump took office.
"The first 100 days are going to be the most aggressive, change oriented policy proposals and procedures that we've ever seen," KOAT political expert Brian Sanderoff said.
The CBP One app has been highly popular, functioning as an online lottery system that grants appointments to 1,450 people daily at eight border crossings. These individuals enter the U.S. under immigration "parole," a presidential authority that Joe Biden has exercised more frequently than any other president since its creation in 1952.
Illegal crossings at the southern border were lower in December 2024 than in December 2020, Border Patrol data showed.
Mexico is constructing tents to receive Mexican nationals deported under Trump's mass deportations and provide them with services to help resettle.
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.
CBP One was used by the Biden administration to allow hundreds of thousands of migrants into the country to pursue asylum claims.
