PER CURIAM.
Abraham Sowe, a native of Gambia and a citizen of Sweden, petitions for
review of an order of the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
ordering him removed. We lack jurisdiction to review Sowe’s petition because he was
admitted to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) and, as a
condition of entry under the VWP, he waived his right to contest removal on any
ground other than an application for asylum. See 8 U.S.C. § 1187(a)-(b); Lacey v.

(9th Cir. 2005).
Accordingly, we dismiss the petition.
