Migrants who were temporarily allowed to live in the United States by using a Biden-era online appointment app have been told to leave the country “immediately,” officials said Monday. It was unclear how many beneficiaries would be affected. More than 900,000 people were allowed in the country using the CBP One app since January 2023. They were generally allowed to remain in the United States for two years with authorization to work under a presidential authority called parole.

This was a landmark trial more than a decade in the making, and the case was the first of dozens of pending lawsuits against the world’s preeminent oil companies for their role in accelerating the loss along Louisiana’s rapidly disappearing coast. Many worry that the verdict could set a precedent and cost other oil and gas companies billions in damages tied to land loss and degradation of the environment.
