Immigration judge complied with responsibilities during removal proceedings

“Here, the BIA properly denied Aparicio-Brito’s motions for reconsideration. Rather than highlighting overlooked facts or case law, Aparicio-Brito’s motions simply repeat earlier arguments presented to and rejected by the BIA. Indeed, aside from references to the BIA’s initial decisions, the two motions for reconsideration are almost identical to the opening motions—same argument structure, same wording, same case law quotations. A motion for reconsideration is properly denied when, as here, the petitioner presents the same arguments to a different judge hoping for a more favorable outcome. “
