The Trump administration replaced the Biden-era CBP One appointment system with a new app called CBP Home on March 10, 2025. AP, CNN, and Fox News all reported that the new tool was designed around self-departure rather than asylum appointments.
The same coverage agreed that CBP One had been used by migrants to schedule entry appointments at the border and that the new app asks users to signal their intent to leave the country. Officials described the change as part of a broader deportation and deterrence strategy.
Fox News treated the relaunch as a practical enforcement tool, while CNN and AP spent more time on what the shift meant for migrants who had used the earlier app as a legal entry channel.

Right-Leaning Emphasis
- Fox News emphasized the app as an enforcement tool that could speed compliance without waiting for arrests.
