1Opinion of the Court
BRISCOE, Circuit Judge.
Defendant Martin Barajas-Chavez was convicted by a jury of transporting two illegal aliens, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(l)(A)(ii). On defendant’s motion at the conclusion of the case, the district court set aside the jury’s verdict and entered a judgment of acquittal on the ground that the evidence was insufficient to demonstrate defendant acted knowingly “in furtherance of’ the aliens’ illegal presence in the United States. After rehearing the case en banc, we reverse and remand with directions to the district court to reinstate the jury’s verdict.
