Mullin v. Al Otro Lado · ¶13

The second of the two key statutory provisions, §1158(a)(1), governs a process that may begin during inspection. During inspection, an immigration officer decides whether the alien is inadmissible under §1182, which bars entry on grounds related to, among other things, national security, foreign-policy concerns, and the alien’s health or criminal activity. If the officer concludes that the alien is inadmissible, the officer must generally “order the alien removed from the United States without further hearing or review.” §1225(b)(1)(A)(i). This procedure is known as expedited removal.
