Thousands of migrants who entered the US during the Biden administration and used a special app to arrange asylum appointments are being told to leave "immediately".

The roughly 900,000 migrants who entered at the southern border using the app, CBP One, were generally allowed to remain in the US for two years and given "parole" from immigration laws to work in the country legally.

Now, many of them are being informed that their paroles are revoked and that they are subject to prosecution if they remain in the US.

President Donald Trump has long promised to increase deportations from the US. His administration recently renamed the app to CBP Home and is using it for "self-deportations".
