The U.S. Customs and Border Protection has modified the Biden administration app designed to help migrants enter the US to now allow them to self-deport more easily. 

The agency updated the app to be in compliance with President Trump's executive order on border security, according to an announcement Monday on the agency's website.

"The application has a new feature – Intent to Depart – which offers unlawfully present aliens or those aliens whose parole has been revoked an orderly and defined voluntary process to notify the U.S. Government of their intent to depart the United States," the statement reads. "This new feature is a necessary tool to comply with the President’s Executive Order 14159, Protecting the American People Against Invasion."

The app was originally launched in 2021 and named CPB One. It allowed migrants to schedule asylum hearings and reduce illegal border crossings. Critics argued it also allowed an estimated 1 million people to enter and live in the United States while their asylum request was pending.

The Trump administration shut down the app in January prior to its repurposing as CBP Home.

In addition to the "Intent to Depart" feature, the app will also allow travelers to the U.S. to apply and pay for visitor papers know as I-94 documents, check border security wait times, request inspections for perishable cargo, and submit traveler's manifests for bus drivers.  

Pete Flores, the acting commissioner of U.S Customs and Border Protection, said that the app's self deportation function will allow illegal residents to leave the country voluntarily.

 “CBP Home App strengthens our mission to secure the U.S. border by ensuring lawful entry for travelers and supporting effective enforcement,” he said. “The app provides illegal aliens in the United States with a straightforward way to declare their intent to voluntarily depart, offering them the chance to leave before facing harsher consequences. This reinforces our commitment to enforcing U.S. laws and safeguarding national security.”
