BLACK, Circuit Judge:
Defendant-Appellee Jose Saucedo-Patino pled guilty to illegal reentry after deportation subsequent to an aggravated felony conviction. At sentencing, the district court granted Saucedo-Patino an 8-level downward departure based on (1) the nature of his prior conviction, and (2) his claim that he reentered the United States to support his family. The Government appeals the sentence, which we vacate and remand for resentencing.
