U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit
United States v. Nawomi Awoga
August 13, 2026
Summary
The court affirmed the defendants’ convictions for harboring unauthorized aliens and their sentences. It held that the victims’ testimony, corroborating evidence, and evidence of concealment and financial benefit were sufficient for a rational jury to convict, despite impeachment and credibility challenges. It also held that the within- and below-guidelines sentences were substantively reasonable because the district court adequately considered the statutory sentencing factors and mitigation arguments.
