United States Fourth Circuit
US v. Castillo-Pena, 10-5080
In a prosecution of a Nicaraguan national for falsely representing himself to be a US citizen during an ICE deportation investigation interview and for committing identity theft in relation to a false claim of US citizenship, the district court's denial of the defendant's motion for acquittal is affirmed, where the "cumulative context" in which his statement was made provided a substantial foundation for the jury's conclusion of willful misrepresentation.
