A recent report from the Department of Homeland Security's Office of Inspector General found that Customs and Border Protection's CBP One application lacks some capabilities to help vet illegal aliens applying for asylum.
The app was created to streamline the asylum-claim process so that Border Patrol agents spend less time processing illegal aliens at the border. Between January 12, 2023, and August 18, 2023, the app has been used to process more than 260,000 foreign nationals.
The internal report claimed that the Biden-Harris administration's CBP failed to assess the "risks" of the application and provided three recommendations aimed at improving vetting procedures. The agency concurred with all three recommendations.
