Disappointment at border as Trump cancels immigration program

LA Times  

Hundreds of asylum seekers are led to their interviews with U.S. customs agents at the San Ysidro Border Crossing in April. Among the first on-the-ground effects of President Trump’s sweeping immigration revisions was visible Monday on the Mexican side of U.S. ports of entry, where hundreds of disconsolate asylum applicants were stunned to learn of the cancellation of a program aimed at easing the process of applying for asylum. “Maybe we will go back to Mexico City,” mused Jiménez, noting that they had waited in the Mexican capital for months for confirmation of their CBP One interview. CBP One has since facilitated the entry of almost 1 million people, mostly prospective asylum-seekers, into the United States via ports of entry along the U.S.-Mexico border. In addition, Trump said he planned to reinstate Remain in Mexico, a controversial program launched in his first administration — and ended by Biden — that forced asylum-seekers arriving at the Southwest border to await U.S. immigration court dates in Mexico.
