PER CURIAM: Harrington Campbell appeals his conviction and sentence for reentering the United States illegally, 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), (b)(2). Campbell argues, for the first time, that his statute of conviction is unconstitutional. He also argues that the district court erred by denying his motion for a judgment of acquittal based on the lack of evidence of his intent to enter the United States and that the district court erred by imposing a written, but not orally pronounced, spe- cial condition of supervised release.

The interdicted boat had a func- tioning radio and compass. Special Agent Douglas Doherty with the Department of Homeland Security testified that he interviewed Campbell the next day. Campbell told him that “Marvin Johnson was responsible for smuggling [him] into the United States” and that he had infor- mation about another boat interdicted six weeks earlier. Campbell was arrogant and refused to answer any clarifying questions about Johnson unless he was provided with assistance for his “immigra- tion problems.” Campbell did not mention the boat taking on wa- ter or that he thought that he was going to Freeport, Bahamas, in- stead of the United States. A records and information specialist for the Department testified that, as of June 9, 2019, Campbell did not have permission to enter the United States. The government played a recorded deposition of Gloria Be- navides, one of Campbell’s codefendants who had since been re- …
