A briefing document provides an early glimpse into the practical application of Trump’s executive orders on immigration and the border.

Just as Donald Trump's inauguration concluded, Honduran asylum seeker Denia Mendez's phone buzzed with alarming news: the CBP One app, her lifeline to a new life in the US, was down.

CBP One was used by the Biden administration to allow hundreds of thousands of migrants into the country to pursue asylum claims.

The CBP One app was set up under the Biden administration to create an orderly way for migrants to enter the U.S. and to reduce illegal border crossings.

The CBP One app has been highly popular, functioning as an online lottery system that grants appointments to 1,450 people daily at eight border crossings. These individuals enter the U.S. under immigration "parole," a presidential authority that Joe Biden has exercised more frequently than any other president since its creation in 1952.

Illegal crossings at the southern border were lower in December 2024 than in December 2020, Border Patrol data showed.

"The first 100 days are going to be the most aggressive, change oriented policy proposals and procedures that we've ever seen," KOAT political expert Brian Sanderoff said.

The CBP One app has been wildly popular. It is an online lottery system to give appointments to 1,450 people a day at eight border crossings.

The CBP One app, a government platform that the Biden administration used to admit more than 740,000 immigrants into the United States, was shuttered within moments of President Donald Trump taking office this afternoon.

CBP One, a border app that has allowed nearly 1 million people to legally enter the United States with eligibility to work, was abruptly shut down on Monday, shortly after President-elect Donald Trump took office.

The U.S. southern border has seen a sharp drop in migrant encounters entering between ports of entry at the southern border, according to a CBP source.
