Border crossings off from last week’s highs as US pins hopes for order on mobile app

TIJUANA, Mexico (AP) — Pandemic-era limits on asylum known as Title 42 have been rarely discussed among many of tens of thousands of migrants massed on Mexico’s border with the United States.Their eyes were — and are — fixed instead on a new U.S. government mobile app that grants 1,000 people daily an appointment to cross the border and seek asylum while living in the U.S. With demand far outstripping available slots, the app has been an exercise in frustration for many — and a test of the Biden administration’s strategy of coupling new legal paths to entry with severe consequences for those who don’t follow them.“You start to give up hope but it’s the only way,” said Teresa Muñoz, 48, who abandoned her home in the Mexican state of Michoacan after a gang killed her husband and beat her. She has been trying for a month to gain entry through the app, called CBPOne, while staying in a Tijuana shelter with her two children and 2-year-old grandson.U.S. Homeland Se...

(CNN) — Ni el presidente de Turquía, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, ni su principal rival parecían haber asegurado el 50% de los votos para ganar las elecciones, según mostraron los resultados electorales preliminares, lo que aumenta las perspectivas de una segunda vuelta.La agencia de noticias estatal Anadolu informó proyecciones basadas en el 97,95% de los votos contados, mostrando que Erdogan tiene el 49,34% de los votos, en comparación con el 44,99% del principal candidato de la oposición, Kemal Kilicdaroglu.El tercer candidato, Sinan Ogan, recibió el 5,28% de los votos, según Anadolu, lo que plantea la posibilidad de que pueda ser un hacedor de reyes en una segunda vuelta. Tuiteó que una segunda votación es “muy posible” y que “los nacionalistas turcos y los ataturkistas están en una posición clave para esta elección”.Las elecciones de este domingo suponen el mayor desafío hasta la fecha para el líder turco. Erdogan se enfrenta a dificultades económicas y a la crítica de que el im...
