United States v. Anderton, No. 17-40836 (5th Cir. 2018)
Annotate this CaseThe Fifth Circuit affirmed defendant's conviction of making a false statement in an immigration document in violation of 18 U.S.C. 1546(a) (Count 1); conspiracy to encourage and induce an illegal alien to reside in the United States in violation of 8 U.S.C. 1324(a)(1)(A)(v)(I) (Count 2); and encouraging an illegal alien to reside in the United States in violation of 8 U.S.C. 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv) (Counts 3-6). The court held that defendant's threshold challenges to section 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv) failed to establish reversible error and the evidence was sufficient to convict him of Counts 3-6; the evidence was sufficient to convict defendant of Count 1; defendant's challenges to the search warrants were rejected; and there was no error in the order of forfeiture.
