The highlighted sentence is incorrect.

One undergoes both customs and immigration inspections at airports with preclearance facilities. Flights from those airports then arrive at the US just as domestic flights do.

What is Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Preclearance?

A preclearance inspection is essentially the same inspection an individual would undergo at a U.S. port of entry and preclearance travelers do not have to undergo a second CBP inspection upon arrival in the United States;
