The following excerpt is from E. Bay Sanctuary Covenant v. Biden, 993 F.3d 640 (9th Cir. 2020):
8 Migrants can be placed in expedited removal proceedings when they arrive at ports of entry without documents, misrepresent their identities, or present fraudulent documents. See United States v. Barajas-Alvarado , 655 F.3d 1077, 1081 (9th Cir. 2011). Undocumented migrants who receive removal orders but indicate an intention to apply for asylum or a fear of persecution may still be considered for asylum. See id . (citing 8 U.S.C. 1225(b)(1)(A)(i) ).
