- Migrants who used the CBP One app under the Biden administration are being told to leave the US 'immediately'.
- Approximately 900,000 migrants who entered via the southern border using the app were initially granted two-year parole to work legally.
- Many now face revoked paroles and potential prosecution if they remain in the US.
- The Trump administration rebranded the app as CBP Home and is using it for 'self-deportations'.
- Notices sent to migrants warn of law enforcement actions if they do not depart, including criminal prosecution and civil penalties.
- The Department of Homeland Security claims the Biden administration 'abused parole authority,' worsening the border crisis.
- Exemptions apply to certain Ukrainian and Afghan migrants under designated parole programs.
- Mexican, Honduran, and Salvadoran migrants are among those receiving deportation notices.
- The CBP Home app now assists undocumented migrants in declaring their intent to leave and verifying financial means for departure.
- A proposed national registry for undocumented migrants may require addresses and fingerprints, though enforcement challenges are anticipated.
