The Trump administration canceled CBP One in January 2025, the mobile app used by migrants to schedule asylum appointments, leaving many undocumented and vulnerable. Approximately 985,000 migrants who entered legally through the app were deemed to have irregular status and lost their work permits, facing deportation risks. The app transformed into a self-deportation portal, exacerbating legal issues for migrants. In response, various migrant rights organizations have mobilized to provide legal assistance and support to those affected by these changes in immigration policy.
In January 2025, the Donald Trump administration canceled CBP One, the Customs and Border Protection mobile application that migrants used to schedule asylum appointments at the southern US border.
The action, implemented without transition or replacement, left people trapped between borders, with an estimated 985,000 people now in "irregular status" and at risk of deportation.
The CBP app was transformed into a "voluntary self-deportation" portal, impacting the legal work status of many migrants who relied on it for entry.
Migrant rights organizations have stepped in to offer free legal counsel and support amid a system that is no longer functional for asylum seekers.
