  4. What is 'expedited removal' as used by CBP?

    An LPR who committed certain offenses is treated as an applicant for admission and is subject to inadmissibility grounds.

  7. What is the purpose of a CBP secondary inspection?

    Answer: To conduct additional questioning, records checks, and verification when primary inspection raises questions

    Secondary inspection allows officers more time and resources to resolve admissibility or other concerns.
