Description
In consolidated appeals, appellants challenge their sentences for convictions of conspiracy to commit controlled-substance crime in the first degree. They argue that the district court's refusal to grant mitigated dispositional departures was improperly based on their alienage and national origin. We conclude that the district court did not sentence appellants on the basis of their national origin. But because the district court erred by considering their immigration status and possible deportation and therefore by not exercising its sentencing discretion, we reverse and remand for resentencing.
