Trump Administration revoked legal entry status for migrants who had entered the country under the Biden-era CBP One app, according to a Monday announcement.
Migrants impacted by this decision have been ordered to leave the United States immediately.

Launched in January 2023, the CBP One mobile application allowed migrants to schedule appointments at U.S.-Mexico border crossings. The program served as a cornerstone of President Biden’s immigration policy, intended to provide lawful entry options and reduce unauthorized border crossings.
Over 900,000 migrants were granted parole under this system, receiving temporary permission to live and work in the U.S. for up to two years.
However, with a new administration now in office, that policy has come to a halt.
The Department of Homeland Security confirmed it has sent termination notices to individuals who had entered under the CBP One program.
While it did not disclose how many migrants were affected, emails reviewed by the Associated Press confirmed that families.
including those from Honduras, received official communication urging them to voluntarily self-deport.
The migrants were instructed to use the same platform—now renamed CBP Home—to arrange their departure.
“It’s time for you to abandon the United States,” read one email sent to a Honduran family who had entered in late 2024.
Nonprofit organizations such as Al Otro Lado, which provides legal assistance to migrants,
have confirmed that individuals from Honduras, El Salvador, and Mexico are among those receiving revocation letters.
Several affected migrants have also shared screenshots of the DHS emails across social media platforms.
Immigration advocates argue that the sudden policy reversal places many at risk, especially those who fled violence or instability in their home countries.
This move is part of a sweeping rollback of Biden-era immigration policies by the Trump administration. On his first day in office, President Trump ended CBP One for new applicants, leaving thousands stranded in Mexico—even those with approved appointments for early February.
DHS has also moved to revoke humanitarian parole for 532,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela—who had arrived legally by air under a separate Biden policy. That program will end officially on April 24.
Additionally, the administration has attempted to terminate Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for hundreds of thousands of migrants. Affected populations include approximately 600,000 Venezuelans and 500,000 Haitians.
However, a federal judge has temporarily blocked that order for some groups, including 350,000 Venezuelans whose TPS was set to expire this week.
The DHS media affairs office defended the decision, stating:
“Canceling these paroles is a promise kept to the American people to secure our borders and protect national security.”
Officials also criticized the previous administration’s use of the presidential parole authority, claiming Biden used it more than any other president since it was established in 1952,
leading to what they describe as “the worst border crisis in U.S. history.”
As migrants navigate the sudden change in their legal status, uncertainty looms. Legal advocates are calling for transparency and humane solutions, especially for those who entered the country under lawful channels. For now, thousands await clarification or face the prospect of self-deportation under new immigration enforcement rules.
