The Trump administration has already shut down the controversial Customs and Border Patrol One application, which streamlined nearly one million illegal aliens into the United States.
Just moments after Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States, his administration shut down the CBP One app, which allowed migrants to remotely schedule asylum hearings and be released into the United States. Existing appointments have also been canceled.

An update from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection says that “the functionalities of CBP One that previously allowed undocumented aliens to submit advance information and schedule appointments at eight southwest border points of entry is no longer available” before noting that appointments have been canceled.

Documents from the Department of Homeland Security indicate that more than a quarter million “inadmissible aliens” entered the United States through the app. Under the Biden administration, House Republicans warned that cartels exploited the system.
Trump is expected to sign a wide-reaching slate of immigration-related executive orders on his first day in office and declare a national emergency on the border, allowing the Department of Defense to send members of the National Guard and Armed Forces to secure the border and build physical barriers.

The new president is also expected to end birthright citizenship for illegal aliens, suspend refugee resettlement, resume building the wall, and designate cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, White House officials explained.
The officials noted that he will reinstate the Remain in Mexico policy, which orders migrants to remain in the country while asylum claims are processed, also telling reporters that the president will work to end the current asylum system altogether.
The House of Representatives will also focus on immigration in the first days of the Trump administration. The House Judiciary Committee’s first hearing in 2025 will be titled “Restoring Immigration Enforcement in America” and will discuss “what the Trump administration can do to restore integrity to America’s immigration system,” The Daily Wire exclusively reported.
