The Trump administration announced today that it is revoking the legal status of migrants who entered the United States using the CBP One mobile application. The CBP One app was introduced by the Biden administration as a method for migrants to schedule appointments to present themselves at ports of entry, effectively creating a legal pathway to enter the U.S. and claim asylum.
Critics of the Biden administration's border policies argued that the app encouraged more migrants to come to the border, while supporters claimed it brought order to the asylum process and reduced dangerous illegal crossings. The Trump administration argues that the CBP One app was an abuse of executive power and that those who entered the country using it did so unlawfully.
The decision to revoke legal status for these migrants could lead to deportation proceedings. The exact number of individuals affected by this policy change is currently unknown, but estimates suggest it could be in the thousands. Legal challenges to the administration's decision are expected.
