See Spiller v. City of Texas City, 130 F.3d 162, 167 (5th Cir.1997). In addition, a plaintiff should not be granted leave to amend after being afforded repeated opportunities to do so. See Wilkins, 173 F.Supp.2d at 614; accord United States ex rel. Adrian v. Regents of the Univ. of Cal., 363 F.3d 398, 404 (5th Cir.2004) (noting that “pleading review is not a game where the plaintiff is permitted to file serial amendments until he finally gets it right”); Willard, 336 F.3d at 387 (<HOLDING>).

to exempt every alien who seeks to adjust his or her status under § 245(i) after illegally reentering the United States following removal. Where Congress intended § 241(a)(5) not to pose a barrier to adjustment of status for aliens who illegally reentered the United States, it made a special exception to the general rule. Because Lino does not fall within the exception, she is bound by the general rule disqualifying aliens who illegally reentered the country from seeking adjustment of status. Finally, six circuits have held that § 241(a)(5) precludes aliens subject to reinstatement orders from obtaining adjustment of status pursuant to § 245(i). See De Sandoval v. U.S. Attorney Gen., 440 F.3d 1276, 1284-85 (11th Cir.2006); Berrum-Garcia v. Comfort, 390 F.3d 1158, 1163 (10th Cir.2004) (<HOLDING>); Lattab v. Ashcroft, 384 F.3d 8, 21 (1st

is no evidence that the immigration authorities have unreasonably prolonged [Young’s] removal proceedings and consequent detention.” Debel, 2014 WL 1689042, at *6; see also Demore, 538 U.S. at 532-33, 123 S.Ct. 1708 (Kennedy, J., concurring) (citing the lack of evidence of “an unreasonable delay by the [Government] in pursuing or completing deportation proceedings”); cf. Ly, 351 F.3d at 272 (noting that the petitioner’s detention was lengthened due to “the INS drag[ging] its heels indefinitely in making a decision”). Nor is there any “indication that [Young’s] continued detention ... will last indefinitely,” or — as discussed above — that his ultimate removal is unlikely. Orsino, 942 F.Supp.2d at 410; accord Debel, 2014 WL 1689042, at *6; cf. Zadvydas, 533 U.S. at 702, 121 S.Ct. 2491 (<HOLDING>); Monestime v. Reilly, 704 F.Supp.2d 453,
