inadmissibles
Those denied entry
Inadmissibles are people or things that cannot be admitted or allowed entry.
The term appears most often in immigration contexts, where inadmissibles are individuals barred from entering a country due to criminal history, health concerns, security risks, or visa violations.
Border agents processed dozens of inadmissibles that week.
The word can also apply more broadly to evidence or testimony that a court refuses to consider.
