The Trump administration's revocation of CBP One permits, which allowed people to live and work in the U.S. temporarily, has caused confusion and fear among recipients. Some U.S. citizens, like immigration attorneys, have received notices telling them to leave the country immediately. The cancellation notices were sent without warning and have left many unsure of their status. Critics believe that the administration's lack of transparency and clarity in handling the revocation of CBP One permits is intentional, causing fear and chaos among recipients. Some beneficiaries are now considering returning to their home countries, while others are exploring options to stay in the U.S., such as filing for asylum. The revocation of CBP One permits is part of the Trump administration's broader efforts to restrict immigration and dismantle Biden-era policies. The impact of these actions is being felt by thousands of individuals who had relied on these temporary protections to remain in the U.S.
