The strict migration measures in United States have "reached" a new group of immigrants who will no longer be able to fly within the country unless it is on a deportation flight: those with an identification from the CBP One application.
The new measure implemented by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), who made it public through a message on their official X account on previous days, will affect the more than 900 thousand users of this program as well as other individuals who entered the country under parole or who are awaiting their migration process.
"Undocumented immigrants who previously had their identity established using CBP One would only be allowed past the checkpoint if TSA can determine that the purpose of the trip is for deportation or movement between detention centers," reads the TSA publication.
In addition to the above, it was also announced that all those "undocumented foreigners" who cannot have their identity verified will not be able to board a flight within the United States.
The CBP One is eliminated
During his first hours as president of the United States, Donald Trump announced the elimination of this program, which began operations in January 2023 and ended in December of the previous year, benefiting more than 900 thousand immigrants.
This document, issued by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office (CBP) through their CBP One application, allowed a person who had entered the country under parole to board domestic flights.
To carry out the process, the person had to use the application to register photos, biometric data, and other personal information that served as identification when traveling throughout the North American country. From its inception, the program became the target of criticism from the Republicans, who successfully managed to eliminate it after Trump's return to the White House for a second term.
The discontinuation of this program is part of the recent measures carried out by the Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem, who previously announced the cancellation of the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for 300 thousand Venezuelans.
In addition, Noem also revealed the cancellation of TPS for Haitian citizens, who could enter the North American country temporarily.
The new air travel migration measure adds to the recent regulation on the mandatory use of REAL ID for American citizens to board domestic flights.
