Austin, I so appreciate your reports! They always provide so much information. CBP One's improvement gives me, dare I say, a little hope for our asylum seeking brothers and sisters. I do have a very cynical thought about why those who have appointments would be targeted. Who other than CBP would know that they have appointments...?🤔

A lot of migrants traveling to the border come through relatively predictable routes such as buses and even by airplane, and tend to have identifying paperwork on them. So my understanding is that it wouldn’t be enormously difficult to identify them, and that (for now) there’s no indication of a security breach with the app. But it’s certainly something I worry about, too!
