Critics of the Biden-era CBP One app said migrants were abusing the asylum-request system to legally enter the United States, then disappear.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has relaunched the "CBP One" app, which allowed migrants to request asylum, to assist them with self-deportation, FNC's Bill Melugin reports.

In the two months since the Trump Administration took office, immigration advocates in the Denver metro area say migrant families continue to remain on guard about their status and future in the U.S.

CBS News Miami's Ivan Taylor spoke with immigrants and an immigration lawyer about the impacts the changes to the app will create.

The Trump administration repurposed an app used by the Biden administration to book appointments for asylum claims, into an app that helps migrants ‘self deport,’ the Department of Homeland Security said.
