Border App Fails to Ease Migrant Frustration as Border Crossings Dip
The Biden administration's new mobile app, CBPOne, which grants 1,000 people daily an appointment to cross the US-Mexico border and seek asylum while living in the US, has been an exercise in frustration for many. Despite the drop in recent days, authorities predict arrests will spike to between 12,000 and 14,000 a day. The administration plans to ask an appeals court Monday for permission to release migrants without orders to appear in court. The Justice Department even raised the possibility of declining to take people into custody if it can’t quickly release migrants, calling that a “worst-case scenario.”
