Per a district court ruling, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) acted unlawfully when it terminated the legal status of CBP One App users. This decision, if implemented, restores legal status and removal protections to thousands of people. It’s unclear whether the government will repeal the decision.

The CBP One app, according to ABC, granted nine-hundred thousand people legal status to enter and work in the United States between 2021 and 2025. Afterwards, the government shut down the app and retroactively revoked the legal status of all its users. The DHS also repurposed CBP One for individuals to self-deport. The court ruling mandates the government restore the legal status of its users.
