CLE: Deportation Preparedness

CLE Description:
Are you an attorney interested in volunteering to help people who may be at risk of deportation to create a plan to take care of their family and property left behind in Minnesota?  If so, this CLE will focus on how volunteer attorneys may advise clients to take potential actions that people who are at risk of deportation may wish to take to try to mitigate the disruption to their lives and the lives of family members remaining in Minnesota in the event of detention or deportation.   This CLE will not address immigration legal issues but rather will focus on the myriad other legal issues that someone might encounter as a collateral consequence of being taken into detention or deported. This CLE will explore issues that people at risk of deportation may want to consider before they are taken into detention or deported.  The CLE will cover an introduction to delegations of parental authority and power of attorney forms, as well as cover topics such as what might happen to someone’s personal property, unpaid debts, and automobiles in the event that they are taken into detention or deported.
