They foot note everything.
And my bad, it was a 1996 law.

Thank you! You saved my day. I was going crazy looking for this clause.
Quote:
Under expedited removal (INA ยง235(b)), an alien who lacks proper documentation or has
committed fraud or willful misrepresentation of facts to gain admission into the United States is
inadmissible and may be removed without any further hearings or review,53 unless the alien
indicates an intention to apply for asylum or another form of removal based on a fear of
persecution.54 Aliens from Western Hemisphere countries with which the United States does not
have full diplomatic relations (e.g., Cuba) are excluded from expedited removal.55 In addition,
under policy, unaccompanied minors56 are placed in expedited removal in very limited
circumstances. 57
