Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit

1Opinion of the Court

BEAM, Circuit Judge.

Appellees were convicted of unrelated drug offenses. Before sentencing, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) filed a detainer against each, indicating they would be deported upon completion of their sentences. The district court departed downward because the appellees would not be eligible to spend the last six months of their sentence in a half-way house, nor would they be eligible for early release upon successful completion of a drug treatment program. The government appeals the departure decision. We reverse.
