The Trump administration has not indicated if it plans to replace the program of former President Joe Biden’s administration.

Many migrants have been stranded in Mexican border cities after President Donald Trump’s administration canceled thousands of appointments made through the government’s CBP One app, which offered a legal path to the United States. Some have returned to their countries.

Margelis Rodriguez fled Venezuela with her children. She says the family has no choice but to remain in Tijuana.

And what else can they do, when the Trump administration has not indicated that it plans to replace the program of former President Joe Biden’s administration?

Rodriguez has applied for a Mexican visa and is looking for work, while relatives of her in the United States who arrived with a humanitarian permit now fear deportation.

Like her, thousands of migrants who have been deported by the Trump administration and are scattered in border cities along the United States-Mexico border are in the same situation.
