US orders migrants who entered via asylum app to leave amid parole revocations 

The revocation of their parole means they are no longer authorized to remain in the country or work legally.

BBC News reports that around 900,000 migrants entered the US at the southern border, the boundary between the US and Mexico, using the CBP One app, which was introduced during the Biden administration.

This app allowed migrants to arrange asylum appointments and stay for up to two years with legal work authorization. However, many of these migrants are now being notified that their paroles are canceled, and they must depart or face legal action.

According to the BBC, one migrant shared an email with BBC News that instructed them to “leave the United States immediately.” The email further explained that failure to depart could result in removal from the US and possible legal penalties.

While the exact number of migrants affected remains unclear, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed that these notices were sent to some of those who had entered under the parole program.

In addition to the cancellation of parole status, migrants are being informed that they have lost access to work permits and other benefits granted under the program.

The notice warns that remaining in the US could lead to criminal prosecution, civil fines, and other penalties.

The CBP One app, which was initially used to facilitate asylum appointments, has now been rebranded as CBP Home under the Trump administration. The new version of the app is now designed to encourage voluntary departure, allowing undocumented migrants to self-report and express their intent to leave the US.

Experts pointed out that the system could face difficulties in enforcement and practical challenges.

These actions come as part of broader efforts by the government to address immigration and border security, with DHS stating that revoking paroles is a necessary step to secure the border and manage the ongoing immigration situation.
