Migrants break down in tears as Trump shuts down border entry app just minutes after taking office
Daily Mail UK ^ | January 20, 2025 | Jon Raasch

A stunned migrant woman wailed in anguish at the southern border after President Trump shuttered an app that made it easier for migrants to cross into the US.

Margelis Tinoco, a Colombian woman awaiting entry to the US, was overcome with emotion after the president axed the CBP One app moments after he was sworn-in.

She had been hoping to cross into El Paso from the neighboring Mexican city of Ciudad Juarez when the app suddenly went dark, leaving her stuck.

Also filmed in a state of despair was Cuban migrant Yaime Perez, who had hoped to use the CBP One app to cross into the United States and seek asylum.

Every outstanding appointment on the app was effectively canceled when Trump took office, causing panic among those wanting to get into the U.S.

CBP One was used by the Biden administration to help expedite migrants entry into the US and was used by an estimated one million people since being created.

The app could be used to create appointments for asylum seekers - and was also popular among tourists by helping them speed their way through airport customs.

'Effective January 20, 2025, the functionalities of CBP One that previously allowed undocumented aliens to submit advance information and schedule appointments at eight southwest border ports of entry is no longer available, and existing appointments have been canceled,' the CBP website states.

Kamala Harris' bid for the White House was largely sunk by the huge surge in border crossings by migrants during her four years as vice president.

President Trump promised to take a far harder line on the border and even deport migrants who made it into the US, with the promise proving a popular one.

MTG said we should get the data out of the app so we know who to go after.

The Democrats never cry over the Cubans who risk shark-infested waters to come here. The Dems made sure they’re sent back.

She's actually cring tears of joy over the wonderful opportunity that President Trump has given her to return to her home country and make it great again!

Migrants in Ciudad Juárez who were waiting for their 1 pm CBP1 parole appointments learned 20 minutes ago that the app has shut down & those appointments are no longer valid. (X)
