The president took away the ability for migrants to schedule asylum appointments virtually. It might make the situation at the southern border less orderly, an analyst says.

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.

The CBP One App, used by migrants to notify the U.S. government of their intention to arrive at a port of entry and provided resources, has been shut down by the Trump Administration.

In a move fulfilling one of now-President Donald Trump’s campaign promises, the Trump administration shuttered the use of CBP One, a President Joe Biden-era app meant to help process migrants seeking to apply for asylum in the U.S.

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 went offline as President Donald Trump returned to power. The move is likely a precursor to Trump's immigration policies.
