Word began to spread quickly in the Tijuana migrant shelter Monday, even as President Donald Trump continued to deliver his inauguration speech. Nidia Montenegro, an asylum seeker from Venezuela, checked her cellphone to see if the asylum screening appointment she’d waited so long to secure was still good for Wednesday morning.

President Donald Trump’s promise to deport “millions and millions” of immigrants will hinge on securing money for detention centers.

Hundreds of thousands of migrants lost scheduled appointments after CBP One app was disabled, creating uncertainty at the US-Mexico border.

Part of the problem is lack of coordination between government officials and migrant shelters run by advocates.

People are considering whether to apply for permission to settle in Mexico, return home, or wait to see what Trump comes up with next.

Migrant shelters in Tijuana - located across the border from San Diego, California - are bracing for a possible surge in the influx of migrants should US President Donald Trump carry out his mass deportation plan.

El primer golpe llegó con el fin de CBP One, dejando varados a miles de solicitantes de asilo con y sin citas.

Nidia Montenegro fled violence and poverty at home in Venezuela, survived a kidnapping as she traveled north into Mexico, and made it to the border city of Tijuana on Sunday for a U.S. asylum appointment that would finally reunite her with her son living in New York.

City leaders have plans for a 10,000-bed shelter, but haven’t provided any details regarding where it will be or when it will open.

The Trump administration is ending use of a border app called CBP One that has allowed nearly 1 million people to legally enter the United States with eligibility to work.
