If you are informed that you are subject to expedited removal, you have the right to ask for the stated reason. If you fear persecution upon return to your country of origin, it is important to immediately inform the agents about your fear.

U.S. citizens do not have to carry proof of citizenship while in the U.S. However, if you are over 18 years old and possess valid immigration documents, you are required by law to carry them with you. If requested by an immigration agent, you should show them the documents.
