PREVIEW

Asylum seekers prepare to enter the United States as a Mexican immigration official checks their documents for their CBP One appointments at 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. 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.
