The sudden cancellation of the CBP One app has left many migrants stuck in Mexico, unable to enter the U.S. as planned.
Take Margelis Tinoco, a 48-year-old Colombian. She was in tears when her appointment got canceled at the Paso del Norte bridge. It was a tough moment for her.
Then there’s Melanie Mendoza from Venezuela. She was also waiting in Tijuana, and when she saw her appointment was gone, it hit her hard.
A lot of people were in the same boat. They showed up at the border, only to find out their plans were dashed. It’s heartbreaking to see families waiting, hoping for a chance that just slipped away.
In Matamoros, migrants were turned away from their scheduled meetings right after the app was canceled. They were left waiting for taxis, unsure of what to do next.
Volunteers tried to help by showing updates about the cancellations, but it’s just not enough. The sudden change has left many feeling lost and frustrated. It’s a tough situation for everyone involved.
