The CBP One app, once used under Biden’s administration to bring over a million illegal migrants into the U.S., has been completely redesigned under President Donald Trump. The administration has transformed it into a self-deportation tool, requiring illegal migrants to register their intent to leave or face forced removal.
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem introduced the updated app, now called CBP Home, on Monday. It features a new function allowing migrants to declare their intent to depart, a significant shift from the previous administration’s use of the app as an entry mechanism.

Trump’s return to office marked an immediate reversal of Biden’s immigration policies. The CBP One program was shut down on day one, halting scheduled appointments for border entry and ending the parole system that allowed migrants to fly into the U.S. without traditional processing.

With the app’s new function in place, ICE has ramped up deportation operations, making it clear that those who remain illegally will be detained and removed. The administration has also launched an international campaign warning potential migrants not to attempt illegal crossings, further discouraging attempts to enter the U.S. unlawfully.

Reports indicate that illegal border crossings have dropped dramatically since Trump took office, with many migrants turning back voluntarily rather than facing deportation. Meanwhile, deportation flights have increased as the government utilizes military resources to expedite removals.
As Trump continues his immigration crackdown, his administration is making it clear that the policies of the last four years are over. The message is simple — illegal migrants can leave voluntarily, or they will be removed.
