17 Cf. Falcon Carriche v. Ashcroft , 350 F.3d 845, 854 n.8 (9th Cir. 2003) ("Framing the question in this manner does not avoid the jurisdictional bar because this approach, like a direct challenge on the merits, requires a merits analysis. Calling it something else does not change the legal character of the challenge.").
