The Trump administration has revoked the legal status of migrants who entered the United States using the CBP One app, a system introduced during the Biden administration in January 2023 to facilitate legal entry and work authorization for asylum seekers. Approximately 936,500 individuals who utilized this app have been instructed to leave the country immediately.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has issued formal termination notices to these migrants, urging them to voluntarily self-deport using the newly rebranded CBP Home app. The DHS warns that those who do not comply will face removal and permanent reentry bans. ​

This policy shift aligns with the Trump administration's broader efforts to tighten immigration controls and address what it describes as the misuse of parole authority under the previous administration. DHS officials stated that canceling these paroles fulfills a commitment to secure U.S. borders and protect national security.

Notably, migrants who entered under specific humanitarian programs, such as Uniting for Ukraine and Operation Allies Welcome for Afghans, are exempt from this policy change. ​

The administration has also announced plans to revoke parole for 532,000 individuals from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, effective April 24. Additionally, efforts to terminate Temporary Protected Status for certain nationalities have been initiated, though some have been temporarily halted by legal challenges. ​

This development represents a significant shift in U.S. immigration policy, affecting hundreds of thousands of migrants who had previously been granted temporary legal status and work authorization.
