Earlier this year, the Biden administration created an app for migrants and asylum seekers to use in order secure an appointment at a designated U.S. port of entry. But, after several reports of the app being glitchy and hard to access, John Oliver gave it a thorough roasting on Sunday night’s episode of “Last Week Tonight” on HBO.
The app was designed for those who are seeking exemptions from Title 42, a Trump-era immigration policy that severely restricts who qualifies for asylum in the United States. But, first and foremost, Oliver honed in on just the design of the app’s icon, which features, as the “Last Week Tonight” host referred to it, “a border patrol agent with a raging boner.”
