Trump DHS Orders 900K Biden-Era Migrants to Leave ‘Immediately’

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has ordered migrants who entered the U.S. via the CBP One app to leave “immediately.”

The Biden-era CBP One app—through which more than 900,000 people were allowed temporary entry beginning in January 2023—was used to schedule appointments at ports of entry and helped migrants live and work under parole in the U.S. for two years.

Authorities have confirmed that termination notices were sent to CBP One beneficiaries but did not say how many. Migrants were urged to voluntarily self-deport using the same app they entered on, which has been renamed CBP Home.

By the end of December, 936,500 people had been allowed to enter with CBP One appointments at border crossings with Mexico.

Trump ended CBP One for new entrants on January 20, the first day of his second term, stranding thousands in Mexico who had appointments into early February. He has also ended and revoked temporary protected status (TPS) for many who benefited under Biden’s policies.

DHS said last month that it was revoking another form of parole for 532,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela, who flew to the country at their own expense with a financial sponsor. The parole programs are scheduled to end on April 24.

The Department of Homeland Security media affairs unit said on Monday: “Canceling these paroles is a promise kept to the American people to secure our borders and protect national security.”
