The bill proposed in the Minnesota House of Representatives focuses on enhancing penalties for individuals who commit felonies after unlawfully reentering the United States following deportation or removal. Specifically, if a person reenters the U.S. illegally after being deported or removed for a felony, or leaves while a removal order is in place, and then commits another felony, they could face increased sentences. The penalty for such a felony would be extended by five years beyond the maximum typically assigned for the felony itself. If the felony involves a victim under the age of 18, the added penalty increases to ten years beyond the usual maximum sentence for that crime. This bill was introduced to the Committee on Public Safety Finance and Policy for further discussion and evaluation.
