The Trump administration is revoking legal status for migrants who entered the US through a Biden-era app called CBP One and signaling plans to impose daily fines of $998 on people with deportation orders who don’t leave the country.
The Department of Homeland Security sent formal email notifications to people covered by CBP One about the end of their legal protection, known as parole. CBP One was used by hundreds of thousands of migrants to request legal entry under former President Joe Biden.
