In short, he would still be subject to removal even if his arrest was unconstitutional. See 8 U.S.C. \u00a7 1187(b)(2) (waiving, as a condition of entry under the Visa Waiver Program, the right to contest &#8220;any action for removal of the alien&#8221; except on the basis of asylum).\u201d His identity and removability aren&#8217;t suppressible. <a href=\"https:\/\/www2.ca3.uscourts.gov\/opinarch\/181509np.pdf\">Romero-Matos v.
