United States v. Assiba Fandohan

Summary

The court affirmed the defendants’ convictions for harboring and shielding unauthorized aliens and their sentences. It held that the victims’ testimony, corroborating evidence, and evidence of concealment and exploitation were sufficient for a rational jury to convict and support the financial-gain enhancement. 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.
