When federal immigration policy collapses with criminal matters in Minnesota

In 2012, Jose Alfredo Ojeda-Garcia in Faribault County owed herself guilty. He received recognition for three months in prison and was sentenced to 36 months in prison. A stay of 15 years, provided that he met a number of illnesses, including participation in a sex offender and outpatient program, the interruption of alcohol and drugs and registration as a predatory perpetrator.

The plea also included a confirmation that the prosecutor would then let him go to ice, and Ojeda-Garcia was sent back to Mexico days after his conviction.

Last month, a federal jury charged him for illegal return to the United States after he had been deported twice and was brought into federal custody. Faribbaudlt County spent an arrest warrant against his arrest, after not appearing for a hearing on his probation penalty, apparently did not know that he was arrested.

Some criminal matters get stuck on a lower level after ice have been gripped people who were released in Anoka County.

For example, an Ecuadorian arrested a bond of $ 12,000 due to a DWI in February. ICE arrested him in Minnesota, but his lawyer Gloria Contreras EDin said that he was laid in the detention of immigration in Texas. Records show that after the man had not appeared for a hearing, the man was issued an arrest for his arrest and the bond was forfeited.
