CBP One app shut down: The CBP One app that allowed migrants to submit advance information and schedule appointments at eight ports of entry to request asylum is no longer available, CBP announced.
All appointments have been canceled.
CBP said the move took effect at noon on Monday as President Trump was sworn in.
Tears and disappointment flowed Monday after newly sworn-in President Donald Trump cut off a mobile app that allowed migrants to apply to enter the U.S. legally as asylum-seekers. All pending appointments made with the app have been canceled, too.
The CBP One app was set up under the Biden administration as a way to curb people crossing the southwest border illegally to request asylum. Once it went into effect, it was the only way for people to get an appointment to request asylum.
Monday afternoon, Customs and Border Protection posted on its website that the app was no longer available for that purpose and “existing appointments have been canceled.” Some 280,000 people were logging into the app daily to secure an appointment as of Jan. 7, according to Reuters.
In Juárez, Mexico, a woman cried, “Oh God!” as she wailed against a post at the border fence, Noticias Telemundo reported.
