Migrants who waited months to cross the U.S. border with Mexico learned their CBP One appointments had been canceled moments after Donald Trump was sworn in as president.

Long-term appointments were canceled when the CBP One scheduling app was halted after Donald Trump’s inauguration.
The CBP One app has been highly popular, functioning as an online lottery system that grants appointments to 1,450 people daily at eight border crossings. These individuals enter the U.S. under immigration "parole," a presidential authority that Joe Biden has exercised more frequently than any other president since its creation in 1952.
