The abrupt failure of the CBP One app soon after Donald Trump's inauguration severely impacted asylum seekers at the US-Mexico border, effectively nullifying tens of thousands of scheduled appointments for entry. This left many individuals and families, like Margelis Tinoco and Maria Mercado, emotionally distraught as they faced uncertainty and fear after having prepared to enter legally under government protocols. The situation highlighted the struggles of migrants fleeing violence and instability in their home countries, and raised concerns about the adequacy of the current immigration processing system.
For clarification, everyone of these folks submitted biometric, biographical & other ID info to the U.S. govt via app in order to enter the country LEGALLY through this Biden admin program that sought to cut illegals entries. They had DHS-sanctioned appointments set for today.
We don't know what we are going to do...I’m not asking the world for anything - only God. I'm asking God to please let us get in.
