Overview

  • The Department of Homeland Security has issued revocation notices to migrants who entered the U.S. using the Biden-era CBP One app, requiring them to leave the country immediately.
  • Over 900,000 migrants were admitted under the CBP One app since January 2023, but the exact number of those affected by the revocations remains unclear.
  • The CBP One app was a key component of the Biden administration's strategy to expand legal pathways for migrants and reduce unauthorized border crossings.
  • The Trump administration has characterized the revocations as necessary to address what it describes as a border crisis exacerbated by Biden's use of parole authority.
  • This policy shift is part of a larger effort to dismantle Biden-era immigration programs, including the termination of parole and Temporary Protected Status for certain nationalities.
