For the first time, migrants crossed from Mexico into the United States on Wednesday using a government-sponsored app that critics say could increase fraudulent asylum claims. 

Billed as a way to speed up the asylum process for those who made their way to America’s southern border, the CBP One mobile app allows those hoping to enter the U.S. via asylum to input their information into a pre-screening application to set up an appointment with a border official. 

It is unclear how or if the information entered is verified before the individual is released into the U.S., though the app does not guarantee entry. 

According to Reuters, the app is in high demand. One Florida-bound Venezuelan told the outlet that he was “excited” to see his family after entering El Paso, Texas, using the app. 

Critics of the app process say it could be abused by individuals without legitimate asylum claims. 

“Instead of trying to stop an unprecedented flow of migrants, they’re encouraging even more fraudulent asylum claims, while finding innovative ways to process them en masse,” R.J. Hauman, of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, told Breitbart News. “If they wanted to actually end the crisis, the solution is simple: enforce our laws, don’t create an app to make circumventing them even easier.”

Hauman added that the new use of the app “is one of the most jaw-dropping examples of the Biden administration’s eagerness to let everyone in under the veil of legitimacy.”

U.S. Customs and Border Protection launched the app in October 2020 during the Trump administration. Earlier this month, President Biden announced its rollout to “significantly reduce wait times and crowds at U.S. ports of entry and allow for safe, orderly, and humane processing.”

According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the app is currently only available for foreign nationals who have a humanitarian reason for entry due to the extension of Title 42, a COVID-related measure that allows migrants to be turned back based on health concerns. Individuals who apply through the app could still be rejected over Title 42. 

“Noncitizens utilizing CBP One must attest that they believe they meet certain identified vulnerability criteria and be prepared to substantiate this claim upon presentation at a POE [point of entry]. The application provides a safe and orderly way for certain noncitizens to present at POEs, unlike attempting to cross U.S. borders without authorization,” the agency explained. 

The rollout of the app comes as monthly encounters between Border Patrol and migrants at the border continue at almost record highs, as the border has seen a flood of crossings during the Biden administration.

Country music singer Naomi Judd, who formed the famed Judds duo with her daughter Wynonna, left a post-it note before her suicide asserting she did not want Wynonna at her funeral.

Judd, 76, was found dead at her Tennessee mansion last April in an apparent suicide from a gunshot wound.

“Do Not let Wy come to my funeral. She’s mentally ill,” the post-it note — released by the  Williamson County Sheriff’s Department — read, with the word “not” underlined, Radar Online reported.

The day of Naomi Judd’s death, her daughter, actress Ashley Judd, reportedly sent frantic texts to Naomi’s therapist, Dr. Ted Klontz, saying her mother was having a manic episode. “She’s having an episode. Yelling and crying and pacing … Emergency … Please come to mom’s … Now,” she wrote. After Naomi allegedly calmed down, she went upstairs while Ashley Judd and the doctor spoke. But when Ashley Judd went upstairs, she found her mother with a gunshot wound to the head, prompting her to tell Klontz: “She did it. She finally did it.”

A Williamson County Sheriff’s Deputy who responded to the scene wrote, “Didn’t like being alone/Larry in Europe … She threatened to kill herself a half a dozen times, guns were involved. She locked herself in her bedroom. She would threaten to shoot the people who took her [illegible.]”

Naomi Judd reportedly had left both her daughters, Wynonna and Ashley, out of her will, leaving everything to her husband of 33 years, Larry Strickland. “I nominate and appoint my spouse, Larry Strickland, as Executor of my estate. … In the event my spouse ceases or fails to serve, then I nominate and appoint my brother-in-law, Reginald Strickland, and Daniel Kris Wiatr as Co-Executors. I direct that no bond shall be required of my Executor,” she wrote.

Wynonna dismissed rumors that she and Ashley were fighting over their mother’s estate, telling People Magazine, “Someone told me while I was at Ashley’s house, ‘Hey, did you know that they’re saying this about you?’ I went, ‘Huh? I’m fighting with Ashley? Oh. Again?’ Fighting over what? I have such a great life. Ashley has a great life. Why would we be fighting over the will?”

“I am the last person in this family — and if Ashley was here, I’d hope she’d agree with me — who knows stuff like this,” she continued. “I’m not savvy enough to go, ‘I’m going to contest the will.’ It never occurred to me.”

Sources told Radar Online that Wynonna did indeed attend her mother’s funeral.

The Judds dominated country music in the 1980s, winning five Grammys, nine CMAs, and selling tens of millions of records.
