Exiting/entering the US - minor's US passport expired

Upvote:1

Short answer:

  1. He will have no problems leaving the country.
  2. Your son cannot be denied entry into the US. He may get questioned or yelled at by CBP but he will get in, if he manages to get to the border in the first place
  3. However, no airline will let him board a US bound flight with an expired US passport
  4. As a dual citizen you are required to use your US citizenship in all dealings with US government including entry and exit of the US.

In other words, he can easily get to Spain, but it's very difficult to come back to the US. There are potential work around but they are complicated not legally on the "murky" side of things, so I'd recommend against them.
