Cesar Garcia-Aguilera v. USA

Opinion

PER CURIAM: *

Proceeding pro se and informa pauper-is, Cesar Valentin Garcia-Aguilera, federal prisoner # 89647-008, an alien against whom the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has issued a de-tainer subjecting him to immediate removal from the United States upon release from Bureau of Prisons (BOP) custody, appeals the denial of his 28 U.S.C. § 2241 petition challenging the BOP’s excluding him from rehabilitation programs and halfway houses. Although he correctly contends the district court erred in ruling it lacked subject-matter jurisdiction, Gallegos-Hernandez v. United States, 688 F.3d 190, 193-94 (5th Cir. 2012), cert. denied, - U.S. -, 133 S.Ct. 561, 184 L.Ed.2d 365 (2012), the exclusion issue is foreclosed by Gallegos-Hernandez, 688 F.3d at 194-96 (exclusion of aliens subject to ICE detainer from halfway houses and rehabilitation satisfies rational-basis review).

AFFIRMED.

*

Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
