The CBP One entry programme, instituted by President Joe Biden, had allowed thousands of migrants to schedule appointments at entry points across the US-Mexico border.

The Trump administration has ended use of the border app called CBP One that allowed nearly 1 million people to legally enter the United States.

Victoria Meijia Garcia, 31, opened the CBP One app at 10 a.m. Monday as she did every day for the past several months, seeking an available appointment with an asylum official. But today, the top of the familiar homepage blared a message that filled her with dismay.

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

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 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.

"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.

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

CBP One was launched in 2020, allowing foreign vendors to schedule cargo inspections. In 2023 the Biden administration expanded its functions to include unauthorized migrants seeking asylum. This Monday, on Inauguration Day, an order from Donald Trump put an end to the program, and thousands of scheduled appointments were canceled.

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.

Migrants who waited months to cross the U.S. border with Mexico learned their CBP One appointments had been canceled moments after Donald Trump was sworn in as president.
