likely deportation

US v. Wills, No. 06-0115 (2d Cir. February 26, 2007)
Sentence imposed based on conviction of cocaine and crack-related crimes is vacated as the district court did not properly apply the statutory factors listed in 18 U.S.C. section 3553(a) when it considered defendant's likely future deportation under the need to protect the public, or the extent of the difference between defendant's sentence and his co-defendant's. http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data2/circs/2nd/060115p.pdf
