Entry control point
An immigration checkpoint is a location where officials verify travelers' legal status or citizenship.
These may be at borders, airports, or interior points within a country: We were stopped at an immigration checkpoint about fifty miles from the border.
In the United States, Border Patrol operates permanent and temporary checkpoints on highways near the Mexican border.
