This reality prompted the Los Angeles Unified School District to affirm its sanctuary policy for students in the wake of Trump’s second term. The updated 2024 policy bans school employees from voluntarily sharing student immigration information with authorities and promises that every child will have a safe, supportive learning environment.

President Donald Trump on Monday officially shut down the Customs and Border Protection-run app designed to help schedule appointments for people seeking eligibility for asylum, closing off a pathway for migrants at the Southern border hoping to enter the United States.

Just as Donald Trump's inauguration concluded, Honduran asylum seeker Denia Mendez's phone buzzed with alarming news: the CBP One app, her lifeline to a new life in the US, was down.

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.

The Trump administration has ended use of the border app called CBP One that allowed nearly 1 million people to legally enter the United States.

The CBP One app has been wildly popular. It is an online lottery system to give appointments to 1,450 people a day at eight border crossings.

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.

CBP One was used by the Biden administration to allow hundreds of thousands of migrants into the country to pursue asylum claims.

The CBP One app was set up under the Biden administration to create an orderly way for migrants to enter the U.S. and to reduce illegal border crossings.

The Trump administration’s postinauguration move canceling appointments for asylum requests left many migrants stranded on the U.S.-Mexico border.
