NOTEWORTHY
*
In
FOIA
Case,
CBP
Agrees
to
Inform
Individuals
if
They
Were
Interviewed
by
CBP
Officers
Posing
as
Asylum
Officers
U.S.
Customs
and
Border
Protection
(CBP)
and
U.S.
Citizenship
and
Immigration
Services
(USCIS)
implemented
a
pilot
program
at
nine
i

(DHS)
adopting
a
rule
that
makes
registering
for
inspection
appointments
at
ports
of
entry
via
CBP
One
virtually
a
requirement
for
asylum
seekers
entering
the
United
States
through
the
southwest
border.


The
update
also
includes
new
information
about
CBP’s
changes
to
the
process
for
scheduling
appointments
with
the
app.
CBP
One
now
allows
individuals
to
register
for
appointments
during
a
twenty-three
hour
period.
A
CBP
algorithm
then
selects
those
registrants
who
will
get
appointments,
with
a
certain
level
of
preference
given
to
those
who
have
been
waiting
longer.
Asylum-seekers
who
did
not
get
an
appointment
can
try
again
the
following
day.


The
Council’s
resources
on
CBP
One—based
in
part
on
information
received
through
a
FOIA
request
and
subsequent
litigation—have
been
widely
used
by
the
public
to
understand
the
app’s
functions.
The
New
York
Times
cited
to
the
fact
sheet
in
an
op-ed
[[link removed]]
about
developments
at
the
southern
border
and
Senator
Corey
Booker
referenced
the
Council’s
report
[[link removed]]
about
CBP
One’s
evolution
from
cargo
inspection
scheduling
tool
to
principal
gateway
for
asylum
seekers
in
a
letter
to
DHS
[[link removed]]
seeking
accountability
for
the
app’s
shortcomings.
