Well, that didn’t take long.
Forget TikTok. Donald Trump had not even ordered his first Diet Coke from the Resolute Desk when word came down that the CBP One app had shut down. The app allowed illegal immigrants to submit their information and schedule appointments at the ports of entry in El Paso, Nogales, Eagle Pass, Hidalgo, Calexico, San Ysidro, and Brownsville. Theoretically, the app was supposed to cut down on what has been, up until now, referred to as “irregular immigration” (there’s some Newspeak for you) and streamline the process for handling what DHS used to be fond of calling “undocumented residents.” Just the News noted that many Republicans considered the app to be a way to mask illegal immigration. The outlet said in 2023, House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mark Green called the app “just a new iteration of catch-and-release — and one that may only further empower cartels, who now have a new human smuggling tool at their disposal.”

At noon EST today, the app was shut down. The following message was posted on the CBP website:
Effective January 20, 2025, the functionalities of CBP One™ that previously allowed undocumented aliens to submit advance information and schedule appointments at eight southwest border ports of entry is no longer available, and existing appointments have been cancelled. (sic)
The news did not go over well with the people massed at the Mexican-U.S. border.
Migrants in Ciudad Juárez who were waiting for their 1 pm CBP1 parole appointments learned 20 minutes ago that the app has shut down & those appointments are no longer valid. pic.twitter.com/F3pNrZyEBR

The horrific deaths of Laken Riley, Jocelyn Nungaray, and others who have perished at the hands of criminal aliens are still fresh in many people’s minds, as they should be. The outrage should never abate. What you may have missed last week was the sweetheart deal given to MS-13 member Jairo Saenz. In 2016, Saenz used a baseball bat and a machete to brutally murder Kayla Cuevas and Nisa Mickens, allegedly for “disrespecting” him on social media. Saenz smirked as he entered his guilty plea last week. And why wouldn’t he? Courtesy of the Department of Justice, Saenz avoided a life sentence or the death penalty and was given 40 to 60 years in prison.
