President Trump is making headlines with sweeping changes in two critical areas: immigration and technology. His administration recently ended the asylum scheduling feature on the CBP One app—a tool that helped asylum seekers book appointments with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. While the app still provides services like border wait times and form submissions, removing the scheduling feature has left thousands of asylum seekers navigating an even more complicated system.
Meanwhile, Trump is doubling down on technology as a pillar of his influence. By aligning himself with tech titans like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai, Tim Cook, and Jeff Bezos, Trump is stepping into the spotlight of innovation. Musk has praised Trump’s bold vision for Mars exploration, while other tech leaders appear to be in his corner as he stakes claims in the realms of AI, social media, and space exploration. These moves hint at a strategy aimed at shaping both the political and technological future.
