Hours after President Donald Trump was sworn in on Jan. 20, the mobile app that allowed migrants to apply to enter the U.S. legally as asylum-seekers, CBP One, was shut down, leaving thousands of people in limbo.
The app was set up under the Biden administration as a way to curb illegal crossings in the southwest border. With the app gone, existing appointments for asylum seekers were canceled. And according to Mexican officials, more than 30,000 migrants are now stranded across the territory.
