Trump repurposes the CBP One app to allow migrants to self-deport from US

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : " It was immediately unclear when people are supposed to report their self-deportation plans, given that federal immigration officials could use information collected by the app to target people who say plan to leave but haven't yet departed.
46% : "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," Pete Flores, the acting commissioner for U.S Customs and Border Protection said in a statement.
23% : Trump officials said they are encouraging people who they can identify through their CBP One status to voluntarily leave the United States instead of being detained and forcibly deported.
17% : Trump argues Biden officials abused the process to allow an estimated 1 million people to enter and live in the United States while their asylum request was pending.
