Homeland Security officials are cautioning of a potential increase in illegal border crossings following the sudden shutdown of a border app called CBP One. This app allowed migrants to schedule appointments for processing at legal entry points.
After President Donald Trump's inauguration, migrants along the US southern border were informed that their appointments had been canceled, eliminating a crucial pathway that former Biden administration officials believed helped deter illegal migration. The closure of the border app on Monday effectively removes all opportunities for asylum at the US southern border.
