Trump's Crackdown Leaves Migrants in Tears at US-Mexico Border

In a dramatic shift in U.S. immigration policy, President Donald Trump announced a national emergency at the southern border, immediately canceling the CBP One app that facilitated asylum appointments for nearly a million migrants. This decision left many, like Margelis Tinoco and Nidia Montenegro, in tears as they learned their scheduled appointments had been revoked. Trump’s new measures aim to drastically reduce illegal immigration and enhance border security, including deploying troops and designating criminal cartels as terrorist organizations. Videos of distressed migrants at the border went viral, showcasing the human impact of these policy changes. Critics suggest there could be legal challenges to the termination of the CBP One app, as it contravenes U.S. refugee laws that require processing asylum claims at ports of entry. The administration's actions reflect a significant reversal from Biden-era policies, emphasizing a tougher stance on immigration.
