Some 8,007 or two-thirds were turned away, with most allowed to withdraw their request to enter without penalty. Fourteen percent were given expedited removal which bars them from reentry for a period of years. Of those given expedited removal, 121 were part of a family.

The remaining third (3,843) were allowed to enter. The lion’s share of these were individuals entering with "advance parole" which had already been granted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Advance parole may be granted to a noncitizen in the U.S. seeking to return after temporary travel abroad, but it is still up to the port authority whether or not to allow them back into the country.

Very few were allowed in with a Notice to Appear (NTA) in Immigration Court for a hearing before an Immigration Judge on their asylum or other claims. In December, port authorities issued 44,236 NTAs. In February this fell to just 465. In February 2025 75 individuals given NTAs were unaccompanied children, while 25 were part of a family.

The data contained in this TRAC web query tool are based on person-by-person port records obtained by TRAC under the Freedom of Information Act. Data now covers October 2011 through February 2025. The dashboard tracks all persons OFO determines are “inadmissible,” why they are deemed inadmissible, and how OFO officers decide to ultimately handle them. Information on the age, citizenship, gender, and whether they were stopped as part of a family group or as an unaccompanied child, is included. Locational information is also provided identifying which of over twenty OFO field offices was responsible for supervising this process. See: “Stopping ‘Inadmissibles at U.S. Ports of Entry”.
