During the Democrat’s presidential mandate Joe Bidenfrom January 20 from 2021 to January 20, 2025, the Office of Customs and Border Protection of the United States, the Government Agency responsible for protecting the country against drug trafficking, terrorism, and people traffic, operated a mobile application called CBP One.
The application was free and allowed people without the corresponding documents to enter the United States, also known as irregular migrants and request an appointment to be able to present your case and enter the North American Nation through certain land entry points on the border with Mexico.
However, on January 21, on the first day of his second presidential term, the Republican Donald Trump He made the decision to eliminate the application, because in the last years more than 930 thousand people were presented so that the authorities in the US.
Now, almost three months after eliminating the CBP One app, the New York tycoon decided to revoke the legal status Of the migrants who entered through the application, so that all the people who were allowed to live temporarily in the United States, have been indicated that they leave the country immediately.
New Trump’s blow to migrants
Since January 2021, more than 900 thousand people They were able to enter the United States through CPB One; However, most migrants were allowed to remain in the American nation only by two years, although in those 24 months They were given an authorization to work under temporary permit.
Although there are currently hundreds of people whose temporary permit ends in December 2026the National Security Department announced the cancellation of these temporary permanence permits, because they have made “a promise to the American people to ensure borders and protect the country.”
According to the US authorities, in the last hours the cancellation notifications were sent to all CBP One beneficiaries, but did not specify the exact amount. In this notice, the government urges these people to leave the country voluntarily using the new application, CBP Home.
“The new CBP Home app gives undocumented foreigners in the United States a simple way to declare their intention to voluntarily, offering them the opportunity to leave before facing consequences More severe, ”said Pete Flores, the commissioner of the Office of Customs and Border Protection.
After having canceled and revoked temporary status for many of the beneficiaries of Joe Biden’s policies, Donald Trump declared that the former Democratic President “further aggravated the worse border crisis in the history of the United States “, because he gave more permissions of temporary permanence than any other president.
In turn, this new measure adds to the revocation of the temporal protection status (TPSfor its acronym in English) last Saturday, March 8, when the National Security Department withdrew the temporary permits of more than 350 thousand immigrantsmainly from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
