Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is rolling out a new app, CBP Home, with an “Intent to Depart” feature targeted at immigrants. Per a CBP press release, the app gives undocumented immigrants and those whose humanitarian parole has been revoked “an orderly and defined voluntary process” to let the government know their plans to return to their country of origin.
DHS says immigrants must use the app in compliance with Trump’s executive order requiring all undocumented immigrants to register with the federal government. It’s also a clear attempt to intimidate people into leaving the country, since ICE doesn’t have the ability to arrest, detain, and deport all of the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the US.
The app isn’t entirely new. It used to be called CBP One, and under Biden, migrants used it to sign up for asylum interviews at the US-Mexico border.
