This section expands expedited removal under INA §235(b)(1)—which authorizes immigration officers to order removal without a hearing before an immigration judge for certain inadmissible arriving aliens and other aliens present in the United States who have not been admitted or paroled (subject to credible fear screening if an asylum claim or fear of persecution or torture is expressed)—by making the following changes in subparagraph (A): (1) striking exclusions for aliens described in subparagraph (F); (2) in clauses (i) and (ii), applying expedited removal to aliens inadmissible under any provision of INA §212(a) (from only INA §212(a)(6)(C) or (a)(7)); and (3) in clause (iii)(II), striking the limitation to aliens who have not affirmatively shown continuous physical presence in the United States for the two-year period immediately prior to the inadmissibility determination. The section further strikes subparagraph (F) and redesignates subparagraph (G) as subparagraph (F). (Thus, expedited removal authority now potentially extends to any arriving alien or any alien present in the United States who has not been admitted or paroled if determined inadmissible under any ground, without regard to prior exceptions or duration of presence.)
