As Donald Trump took the oath of office in January 2025, migrants in Juarez faced despair as the CBP One application for asylum appointments went down immediately. Many had waited close to a year for their chance, only to see their hopes dashed within minutes. Margelis Tinoco, a waiting migrant, expressed her desperation, lacking plans or shelter for her family. The CBP One app, initiated under the Biden administration to streamline asylum processing, has been proposed for elimination by Trump, who baselessly links it to smuggling.
As Donald Trump became President Trump, the dreams of migrants who were waiting in Juarez for their asylum appointments came crashing down.
I don't have any plans. I don't have anywhere to live. How do I explain this to my child?
The Biden administration rolled out the CBP One app in January 2023, intended to reduce wait times and allow for safe, orderly, and humane processing.
Trump vowed to get rid of the CBP One app, which he falsely claims is used to smuggle migrants into the U.S.
