The US - Mexico border is effectively closed off to migrants seeking asylum in the United States within hours of President Trump taking office.

It's a rare combination of two policies that have nearly sealed off the US southern border to asylum seekers.

Biden administration officials argued that migrants still had an option available to them through the border app to schedule an appointment at a legal port of entry.
