Migrants stranded in Mexico after Trump cancels asylum appointments

The cancellation of U.S. asylum appointments has left thousands of migrants stranded in Mexico, facing uncertain futures after a year of waiting. President Trump's recent executive orders, which include shutting down the CBP One app that facilitated legal entry, have forced many, like Venezuelan migrant Dayana Castro and Colombian migrant Margelis Tinoco, to consider dangerous alternatives to reach the U.S. border. Migrants such as Jose Guillermo Cabrera, who had prepared for their asylum hearings, now find themselves with no resources and no clear path forward after their appointments were abruptly revoked. Many are attempting to seek asylum in Mexico or exploring ways to return home, while others remain resolute in their determination to reach the U.S. despite the increased risks. The situation highlights the profound despair and logistical challenges faced by those fleeing violence and persecution in their home countries. As the Biden administration grapples with these developments, the impacts on migrant communities continue to escalate.
