Overview

  • Kenol Baptiste, a 30-year-old Haitian national, was charged with second-degree murder and other offenses after allegedly killing two roommates.
  • Baptiste entered the U.S. via the CBP One app, which allows migrants to pre-arrange entry and has been expanded to include a larger number of migrants each month.
  • The CBP One app was originally developed for legal visitors and trade but has been adapted to facilitate asylum applications and parole entries.
  • Authorities have faced criticism for the app's role in allowing individuals with potentially incomplete background checks into the country.
  • The case has sparked debate over the effectiveness of U.S. immigration policies and the screening processes for migrants.
