Migrants Weep in Mexico as Trump Admin Cancels Biden’s CBP One App Appointments

Ciudad Juárez: Migrants were left heartbroken in Mexico when they found out their appointments with the Biden administration’s CBP One app were canceled. This happened right after Trump was sworn in on Monday.

The app, which had been a lifeline for many, went offline at noon EST. Customs and Border Protection announced the shutdown, marking the start of Trump’s promised reforms at the southern border.

Yender Romero, a Venezuelan migrant, was seen showing the CBP One app on his phone just before the news broke. This app had allowed thousands of migrants to schedule appointments and request asylum in the U.S.

Reports from the Washington Post captured the emotional scene of migrants weeping at the gates of America after their appointments were abruptly canceled. Many had been waiting for their chance to enter the U.S. and were devastated by the sudden change.

In Ciudad Juárez, those waiting for their 1 PM appointments learned just 20 minutes before that the app had shut down, leaving them in shock and despair.
