As your County Attorney, one issue that I have been charged with is how to handle the very challenging topic of immigration. I work closely with other county attorneys throughout Minnesota to implement best practices and keep Olmsted consistent with other counties. I work with community groups, the County Sheriff and the County Board to hear concerns but also make sure our policies stay within the law.
This year, I worked closely with a working group to define our policies around immigration. Recently, I learned about some concerns regarding my stance on immigration. I share this memo from July of this year to help address any questions you may have about how I advise the County Sheriff and County Board.
My door is always open. I answer emails daily. If you have remaining questions or concerns, please call or email.
