standard.” Lowe v. Sessions, 872 F.3d 713, 715 (5th Cir. 2017) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). First, Moselhy’s due process claims are not cognizable. See Santos- Zacaria v. Garland, 598 U.S. 411, 425 (2023); Ramos-Portillo v. Barr, 919 F.3d 955, 963 (5th Cir. 2019). Next, Moselhy argues that the agency violated the regulations that govern relief applications. Because the Government is correct that he did not exhaust the claims before the BIA, we will not consider them. See 8 U.S.C. § 1252(d)(1); Carreon v. Garland, 71 F.4th 247, 257 & n.11 (5th Cir. 2023). The petition for review is DENIED.
