Federal Jurisdiction18 U.S.C. § 1028
| |
There are five different bases for federal jurisdiction over the
offenses set forth in section 1028(c). They are: (1) the presence of a
United
States identification document; (2) the presence of a United States
document-making implement; (3) the possession of the identification document
is
with the intent to defraud the United States; (4) the prohibited production,
transfer, or possession of the identification document or document-making
implement "is in or affects interstate or foreign commerce"; and (5) the
identification document or document-making implement is "transported in the
mail
in the course of the production, transfer, or possession." The presence of
any
one circumstance grants federal jurisdiction and there is no need for the
prosecution to prove the defendant's state of mind with respect to the
jurisdictional circumstance. See United States v. Feola, 420
U.S.
671 (1975).
