Trump Admin Launches CBP Home for Self-Deportation

The Trump administration has replaced the Biden-era 'CBP One' app with a new application called 'CBP Home' to facilitate the self-deportation of illegal immigrants in the United States. Previously, the CBP One app allowed migrants to schedule asylum appointments at border entry points, but President Trump terminated the program upon taking office. The new CBP Home app enables migrants to submit their intent to leave voluntarily, potentially allowing them to return legally in the future, as noted by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. This move is part of the Trump administration's broader strategy to enhance immigration enforcement and reduce illegal border crossings, which have reached their lowest levels in recent history. Critics argue the previous app under Biden facilitated mass migration without adequate vetting, while the current administration emphasizes restoring immigration system integrity. The app's repurposing is intended to alleviate resource constraints on immigration authorities by reducing the need for deportation raids.
