The CBP One app, the primary method for asylum seekers to secure appointments with border officials, is exposing migrants to kidnapping and extorsions, according to reports from humanitarian organizations like Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International.

A report by Newsweek cites several sources from each NGO who highlight how the app violates international human rights and refugee law.
