When defendants plead guilty, can a court treat a plea as constitutionally valid when it was entered without knowledge of an offense element?

QUESTION PRESENTED 1. When defendants plead guilty, this Court’s precedent— consistent with due process—requires that they understand the offense’s essential elements. In Rehaif'v. United States, 139 S. Ct. 2191 (2019), this Court recognized that knowledge of one’s status as a person prohibited from possessing a firearm is an essential element under 18 U.S.C. § 922(g). Can a court, as the Third Circuit did here, treat a plea as constitutionally valid when it was entered without knowledge of an offense element? 1
