Migrants who used the Biden-era CBP One app to enter the US have been ordered to leave "immediately." Over 900,000 people were allowed into the country since January 2023 under a presidential authority called parole, which authorized them to work in the US for up to two years. The Department of Homeland Security issued termination notices to beneficiaries and urged them to voluntarily self-deport using the same app, now renamed CBP Home. Those who refuse to leave will be charged $998 per day until they depart, according to DHS.

President Donald Trump has stepped back from imposing tariffs on dozens of countries, instead pausing higher tariff rates for 90 days. The White House had previously insisted that the tariffs would go ahead as planned, but ultimately implemented a pause with some notable exceptions. The move was met with relief from investors and international partners, who had been concerned about the potential economic disruptions caused by the tariffs. Trump's aides celebrated the decision, saying it was part of the president's "art of the deal" negotiating strategy, while Democrats criticized the move as an example of "governing by chaos."
