Documents
Reveal
CBP’s
Expansion
of
CBP
One
Functions.


New
agency
documents
about
CBP
One—a
mobile
phone
application
developed
by
U.S.
Customs
and
Border
Protection
(CBP)—show
how
CBP
One
developed
from
a
tool
to
schedule
cargo
inspections
to
the
main
method
by
which
people
can
access
asylum.
The
documents,
obtained
through
a
Freedom
of
Information
Act
(FOIA)
request,
also
track
how
certain
CBP
One
capabilities
expanded,
like
the
requirement
that
users
submit
a
photograph
to
access
certain
features
in
the
app.


The
agency
has
failed
to
adequately
inform
users
and
the
public
about
CBP
One’s
functions.
The
records
produced
by
CBP
so
far
suggest
that
certain
functions
of
the
app
had
been
available
long
before
CBP
updated
its
website
or
the
Privacy
Impact
Assessment,
a
dense
government
document
about
the
app
that
provides
the
most
information
about
the
app’s
capabilities
and
requirements.


CBP
One’s
rollout
for
processing
individuals
seeking
asylum
has
been
widely
criticized.
Among
other
issues,
the
app
has
difficulty
capturing
people’s
photos,
frequently
rejecting
photos
of
people
with
darker
skin
tones.
Vulnerable
populations
also
have
had
difficulties
using
the
app
because
they
lack
access
to
Wi-Fi,
have
challenges
scheduling
appointments
using
the
app,
and
because
of
the
app’s
consistent
technical
glitches.
CBP
has
not
produced
documents
demonstrating
whether
it
considered
these
issues
prior
to
expanding
CBP
One’s
use.
