PROPOSED JURY INSTRUCTIONS — 8 U.S.C. § 1326
ALIEN — REMOVED ALIEN FOUND IN UNITED STATES
The defendant is charged with being an alien who, after removal, was found in the United States in violation of Section 1326(a) of Title 8 of the United States Code. In order for the defendant to be found guilty of that charge, the government must prove each of the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, the defendant was removed from the United States;
Second, thereafter, the defendant voluntarily entered the United States;
Third, after entering the United States the defendant knew that he was in the United States and knowingly remained;
Fourth, the defendant was found in the United States without having obtained the consent of the Attorney General or the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security to reapply for admission into the United States; and
Fifth, the defendant was an alien at the time of the defendant's entry into the United States.
An alien is a person who is not a natural-born or naturalized citizen of the United States.
VOLUNTARILY ENTERED
You have heard that as an element of the crime of Removed Alien Found in the United States, the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant voluntarily entered the United States. You may infer that the defendant voluntarily entered the United States if you determine that the government proved that the defendant was found at a location other than a border of the United States.
REMOVED
You have heard that as an element of the crime of Removed Alien Found in the United States, the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant was removed from the United States. To meet its burden as to this element, the government must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant physically left the country prior to the time he was found in the United States.
KNOWINGLY — DEFINED
An act is done knowingly if the defendant is aware of the act and does not act through ignorance, mistake, or accident. The government is not required to prove that the defendant knew that his acts or omissions were unlawful. You may consider evidence of the defendant's words, acts, or omissions, along with all the other evidence, in deciding whether the defendant acted knowingly.
