Biden's CBP One Program Faces Uncertainty as Trump Pledges to End It

Nearly 1 million migrants have entered the U.S. under the Biden administration's controversial asylum system, which President-elect Trump has vowed to dismantle after taking office.

• The CBP One app, introduced by the Biden administration to manage asylum claims, has facilitated the entry of nearly 900,000 migrants into the U.S. since November 2023, with projections reaching 1 million by January 2025.
• The program allows migrants to apply for asylum remotely and receive court dates, but critics argue it bypasses traditional border enforcement and incentivizes illegal immigration.
• President-elect Donald Trump has promised to terminate the CBP One program within 24 hours of taking office and initiate a large-scale deportation effort targeting undocumented immigrants, especially those with criminal records.
• Migrants and humanitarian organizations have expressed fear over Trump's planned policies, with many rushing to the U.S.-Mexico border in hopes of crossing before the program ends.
• Humanitarian groups have raised concerns about safety risks for migrants, including kidnappings and extortion linked to the CBP One app, as well as the potential for a humanitarian crisis at the border if deportation policies are implemented.
