Migrants who entered U.S. via Biden-era CBP One app stripped of legal status by DHS, told to leave "immediately"

McAllen, Texas — Migrants who were temporarily allowed to live in the United States by using a Biden-era online appointment app have been told to leave the country "immediately," officials said Monday. It was unclear how many beneficiaries would be affected.

More than 900,000 people were allowed in the country using the CBP One app since January 2023. They were generally allowed to remain in the United States for two years with authorization to work under a presidential authority called parole.

"Canceling these paroles is a promise kept to the American people to secure our borders and protect national security," the Department of Homeland Security media affairs unit said in response to questions.
