Minutes after taking office, the Trump administration ordered the shutdown of the CBP One app, which allowed migrants to schedule appointments at the U.S.-Mexico border. The deactivation voided all pending appointments for migrants without visas seeking legal entry into the U.S. This move signals the administration’s intent to enforce stricter border measures, despite a decline in migration figures over the last six months. The app was a key part of Biden’s approach to guiding migrants toward legal pathways for entry. Its removal is part of a larger policy shift to reinstate more restrictive measures, including the reintroduction of the “remain in Mexico” policy. President Trump is also expected to sign ten executive orders targeting border policy, dismantling initiatives introduced during the Biden era.
