Text order DENYING 2 Motion for Preliminary Injunction Ordering Release Pending Final Judgment entered by Judge Andrew B. Davis. No court "ha[s] jurisdiction to hear any cause or claim by or on behalf of an alien arising from the decision or action by the Attorney General to... execute removal orders against any alien." 8 U.S.C. § 1252(g). Petitioner's arguments that his deportation to a third country would violate the INA, FARRA, and the Due Process Clause are "unrelated to the cause of detention," and are thus collateral and unreviewable. Pierre v. United States, 525 F.2d 933, 935 (5th Cir. 1976). By Petitioner's own admission, his removal is imminent. His detention is therefore "necessary to bring about [his] removal," so he is not improperly detained under Zadvydas v. Davis, 533 U.S. 678, 689 (2001).
