During his first day back in office, President Donald Trump signed a total of 26 executive orders, many of them related to immigration. Among them was the revamping of the CBP One app, a tool used during the Biden administration to help asylum-seekers schedule border entry appointments. On his first day, Trump shut down the app, and in March, he repurposed it into the CBP Home app, designed to facilitate self-deportation and provide other related immigration services.
Upon returning to the White House, Trump also declared a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border, setting the stage for the deployment of armed forces to assist immigration agencies in stopping the illegal entry of undocumented migrants, keeping thousands of people seeking for asylum out of the United States.
