Recently, migrants in Tijuana were dismayed to arrive for scheduled asylum interviews, only to find their appointments canceled without prior notice. Many had faced treacherous journeys and waited months to secure these appointments through the CBP One app, designed to streamline the process. The abrupt termination followed the executive actions of President Trump, who deemed southern border crossings a national emergency and disabled the app used for appointments. These developments have plunged countless individuals into uncertainty after significant sacrifices made to seek refuge in the U.S.
Trump signed, and everything is over," said Roberto Canastu, 40, of Guatemala, who had worked for a month to secure his asylum appointment but found it suddenly canceled.
The president’s decision to cancel asylum appointments and shut down the CBP One app leaves migrants feeling hopeless, after crossing through dangerous conditions for a chance at safety.
