PREVIEW

An asylum seeker with a cancelled appointment to enter the United States waits to speak to a Mexican immigration official to check his documents as he reviews the CBP One app at the El Chaparral border crossing port in Tijuana, Mexico on Friday, January 17, 2025. Incoming President Donald Trump has promised to shut down the CBP One asylum app for migrants crossing legally on day one of his administration.The CBP One mobile app allows asylum seekers to schedule appointments through U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to enter the United States. At least for now. In June, outgoing President Joe Biden issued an executive action that makes most migrants who cross the border illegally ineligible for asylum. A move that essentially made CBP One the only way to access the U.S. asylum system.
