12:00-1:00      Ramsey County Attorney’s Office’s Dangerous and Repeat Offender Program (DROP) (Susan Hudson)

                       

This presentation will explain the purpose of the DROP program and the intricacies of using Minnesota Statute Section 609.1095 to obtain sentence enhancements for certain dangerous and repeat offenders.  Issues to be addressed include when to invoke the statute, how to prove that an individual is either a dangerous or repeat offender, and the importance of working with law enforcement to identify and successfully prosecute those offenders.

 

1:00-3:00        Unraveling the Knot: Immigration Issues for Law Enforcement & Attorneys (David Wilson)

 

Unraveling the Knot will review the origins of federal immigration law, the different pathways to immigration into the United States, and how these pathways can affect the management of a criminal case for defendants and victims. We will answer what is "status", what is a removal proceeding, and what are the many ways that even a single contact with Minnesota's justice system can trigger federal and international law issues for immigrant offenders and victims.  The session will review immigration law from the point of view of people working within Minnesota's criminal justice system, including the point of view of people involved in the arrest and prosecution of offenders to those individuals helping victims deal with the aftermath of an offense.
