JUST IN: Border Patrol updates app necessary in asylum application process
SAN DIEGO — U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced Wednesday it is making crucial updates to the app migrants use in the asylum-seeking process as the pandemic-era border policy Title 42 is about to expire.
The new scheduling system goes into effect Wednesday, and the press release says it will allow appointment requests to be made 23 hours each day. Before the update, appointments could only be made during a short, limited designated time. CBP's goal is to make 1,000 appointments available daily, and it may allow more if"operations and efficiencies allow."
If a migrant is notified that they have a chance to confirm an appointment, they will have another 23 hours to lock it in. CBP believes this expanded time frame will ease the pressure and dependency migrants have on internet speed and connection. CBP pointed out that the new changes do not alter how migrants would initially register themselves, their families, or others in the CBP One app.
