Several migrants said they had recently arrived in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico after weeks of travel, only to find their CBP One appointments were cancelled.
The US-Mexico border is effectively closed off to migrants seeking asylum in the United States within hours of President Donald Trump taking office, an extraordinary departure from previous protocols that has left many concerned migrants in limbo.
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.
Hours after Trump’s inauguration, his administration canceled appointments allowing migrants to enter the U.S. to request asylum, leaving many of them stranded on the U.S.-Mexico border.
President Trump took action to close the nation’s southern border and terminate a widely used app. Many migrants expressed despair, and some moved to cross the border anyway.
The Mexican government plans to establish nine reception areas for deportees in Mexico's six northern border states over the coming weeks.
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.
