Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit October 31, 2007, 07-2550 (Bolante v. Keisler)

POSNER, Circuit Judge.

The petitioner is being held in custody by the immigration authorities pending this court’s review of the denial by the Board of Immigration Appeals of his application for asylum and the Board’s resulting order of removal. He has been in custody since July 2, 2006, and he asks us to order him released on bail. We have no authority to do so.
