Migrants who were able to temporarily live in the United States by using an online date app was asked to leave the country “immediately”, officials said on Monday. It was unclear how many beneficiaries would be affected.
Since January 2023, more than 900,000 people in the country have been allowed to register with the CBP One app. The CBP -Eins was a cornerstone of the strategy of the Biden administration to create and expand legal paths to enter the United States to prevent illegal border crossings or people who arrive in the southern border after a dangerous journey through Central America.
Those who were admitted to the USA via the app were generally allowed to stay in the country for two years, whereby approval under a presidential authority called the slogan.
“Canceling these slogans is a promise that is kept to the American people to secure our limits and the protection of national security,” said the Department of Media Department of the Ministry for Homeland Security, in response to questions.
The authorities confirmed that announcements were sent to CBP One -beneficiaries, but were not said, like many. They were asked to voluntarily averted themselves by renaming the same app to which they had been renamed CBP into Home.
“It is time for them to leave the United States,” wrote the Ministry of Homeland Protection to a Honduran family who entered the USA at the end of 2024. The Associated Press checked the e -mail on Sunday.
Others shared the same e -mail on social media platforms.
More expansive use of the planned fines
By the end of December, 936,500 people with CBP One appointments were allowed to participate in border crossings with Mexico. President Donald Trump ended CBP One for new participants on his first day of office, and thousands in Mexico, who had appointments until early February.
Homeland Security said on Monday that bidens use of probation assistants – more than any other president since its foundation in 1952 – “continued to perform the worst border crisis in the history of US history”.
In the meantime, the Trump administration plans to end migrants up to 998 US dollars a day as part of deportation instructions if they do not leave the United States and confiscate their owners if they do not pay, as can be seen by Reuters.
When immigration attacks and arrests were continued in the United States, the Press spokesman for the White House said that the administration looks at all undocumented migrant criminals.
In response to questions from Reuters, the spokesman for the Ministry of Homeland Protection (DHS), Tricia McLaughlin, said in a statement that immigrants in the USA illegally should now use the renamed CBP -now known as a CBP home under Trump -to “leave the country now”.
“If you don’t do it, you will be confronted with the consequences,” said McLaughlin. “This includes a fine of 998 US dollars a day for every day on which the illegal extraterrestrial has exceeded its final deportation order.” DHS warned of the fines in a social media post dated March 31.
The fines come from a law of 1996, which was implemented for the first time in 2018 while Trump’s first office in office. He called the law to raise fines from hundreds of thousands of dollars against nine migrants who were aiming for a refuge in churches. The administration withdrew the punishments, but, according to court records, continued against at least four of the migrants with smaller fines of around $ 60,000 per person.
President Biden heard the issue of fines and the abolition of related guidelines when he started in 2021.
Scott Shuchart, a political officer of the immigration and customs authority (ICE) under bidges, said that migrants and their followers could question the fines in court, but that the threat alone could have a terrifying effect.
“Your point is not really to enforce the law, but it is to project fear in communities,” he said.
The immigration lawyer group FWD.US estimates that around 10 million migrants live without legal status or temporary protective measures among US citizens or constant inhabitants in the so -called “mixed status households”.
