Confusion, denial at border, as path to U.S. asylum shuts down

LA Times  

Outside the white gates that secure the entry to this Tijuana customs facility, a stepping stone to U.S. soil, migrants sat on a sidewalk in quiet disbelief this week, their futures suddenly feeling much darker and clouded in uncertainty. Others had traversed multiple countries by bus, and yet others had crowded for months into shelters and local hotels hoping for confirmation of an asylum appointment via the mobile app, CBP One, that the Biden administration had utilized since early 2023 to ease the process of applying for asylum. Canastu had secured an appointment for 5 a.m. Tuesday — after spending more than a month loading the CBP One app every day to see whether luck would break his way with the lottery-style system. Something will happen, and we need to be ready, and we have to be here and make an effort.” Asylum seekers rest in tents at the Movimiento Juventud 2000 shelter after learning that all appointments for those seeking U.S. asylum had been canceled. “Everything is possible in this life.” Asylum seekers board a van for transport to a shelter after waiting hours outside a Tijuana customs office.
