IN FULL:
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced that illegal immigrants who were temporarily permitted to reside in the U.S. via an appointment application launched during President Joe Biden’s term are being directed to leave the country immediately. It is estimated that over 900,000 illegal immigrants utilized the CBP One app under the former Biden government to enter the United States since its launch in January 2023.
“Canceling these paroles is a promise kept to the American people to secure our borders and protect national security,” the DHS public affairs office said regarding the decision. During the 2024 presidential campaign, President Donald J. Trump pledged to immediately reverse Biden’s open-borders policies and end the unprecedented flow of illegal immigrants into the United States.
While it is not currently known how many illegal immigrants who used the CBP One app to enter the U.S. have now received the notice requiring them to leave the country, the Trump administration has repurposed the app as CBP Home, allowing foreign nationals to notify the federal government of their self-deportation. Migrants from Honduras, El Salvador, and Mexico are among those known to be impacted by the announcement.
The Biden government implemented CBP One in January 2023 as part of an initiative to expand pathways for legal entry into the United States. However, the application faced serious problems, especially as it could not adequately identify and prevent fraudulent claims and entry—posing a potential national security risk.
Moments after taking office on January 21, 2025, President Trump suspended the CBP One app—effectively terminating its use.

📍 Where & When: Across the United States, April 7.
💬 Key Quote: “To see those plants close, one after another, and just sit idle and then fall into disrepair and collapse, they become abandoned buildings… I’m glad to see Donald Trump finally standing up saying he’s going to do something about it,” said retired auto worker Brian Pannebecker.
⚠️ Impact: The Trump tariffs receiving support from industry figures and working-class Americans signals renewed hope for domestic manufacturing and economic growth, despite outcry from financiers.
IN FULL:
President Donald J. Trump’s robust tariff initiative, aimed at countering the impact globalization has had on American industries, is being praised by workers across America. The new direction is garnering support from several industry groups, including the United Auto Workers, Steel Manufacturers Association, and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, as well as local business leaders.
Support from American industry is evident across the nation. Illinois cattle farmer Alan Adams highlighted the long-standing issues with foreign tariffs, particularly in beef, noting, “We’d like the same chance to sell the great taste of American beef.”
Acy Cooper, a fourth-generation shrimp producer in Louisiana, underscored the importance of strong domestic production for national resilience, saying, “We’ve been suffering for over 20 years … this country can’t feed itself, this country can’t sustain its own way of life. If we get into a war with China, one of our big importers … how are we going to feed the people of this country? … It has to come [from] within this country.”
In Michigan, retired auto worker Brian Pannebecker said, “To see those plants close, one after another, and just sit idle and then fall into disrepair and collapse, they become abandoned buildings… I’m glad to see Donald Trump finally standing up saying he’s going to do something about it.”
Further support comes from business leaders such as Brian Riley, CEO at Guardian Bikes, who perceives Trump’s trade policy as a welcome shift away from a status quo that “prioritized offshoring production and cheap consumption.”
President Trump is pushing forward with his plan, emphasizing his desire to bolster American industries, create fair trade opportunities, and ultimately enhance the livelihoods of American workers. He urged Americans to stay strong through the market jitters attributed to the tariffs on Monday morning, writing on his Truth Social platform, “The United States has a chance to do something that should have been done DECADES AGO. Don’t be Weak! Don’t be Stupid! Don’t be a PANICAN (A new party based on Weak and Stupid people!).”
