The sound of a door slamming shut was heard across America’s southern border Monday.
An Instagram post broke the bad news to illegal immigrants who used an app to schedule appointments where they could seek asylum.
“Effective January 20, 2025 at 12:00pm Eastern Time, the functionalities of CBP One™ that previously allowed undocumented aliens to submit advance information and schedule appointments at eight southwest border ports of entry is no longer available. All appointments have been cancelled,” the post said. Trump officially took office at noon.
