Dozens of migrant families are splitting up at Mexico’s northern border as they struggle to secure US asylum appointments on a government app beset by high demand and persistent glitches, migrants and advocates say. | Reuters
US President Joe Biden’s administration made the app, called CBP One, directly available to asylum seekers in mid-January, aiming to make asylum requests at the border safer and more orderly.
“It is extremely difficult, nearly impossible, for some of these families to get an appointment together,” said Karla Marisol Vargas, a senior attorney with the Texas Civil Rights Project. “These are just very difficult choices.” On a recent morning at a shelter in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez, migrants awoke in the middle of the night to upload applications, including a selfie photo scan prone to slow processing.
