The First Circuit has rejected a challenge to administrative removal order issued against a petitioner who entered the United States on the visa waiver program and overstayed, despite his entry to the United States as a minor. The Court determined that even if he had not knowingly waived his right to a removal hearing because he was a minor, he could not establish any eligibility for relief at the time of the issuance of the administrative removal order, and thus, could not establish prejudice.
