Matter of Jasso Arangure, 27 I&N Dec. 178 (BIA 2017) (res judicata does not apply to removal proceedings involving the same respondent in the same immigration status, the same conviction, and the same underlying facts, as long as ICE has charged the noncitizen under a different aggravated felony category than the aggravated felony category charged in the initial proceedings; because the legal theory is different, the operative facts are also different; Congresss intent to deport aggravated felons overcomes any reasoning behind the concept of res judicata), disagreeing with Bravo-Pedroza v. Gonzales, 475 F.3d 1358 (9th Cir. 2007).
