It was also reported that existing appointments have been canceled. Users saw that when they opened the application, it was no longer in use and their existing appointments had been canceled. After taking the oath, Trump, in his speech, drew attention to the issue of irregular immigration in the country, stating that he would declare a National Emergency regarding the U.S.-Mexico border like in 2019, to prevent illegal immigration and deport these individuals.
