Bill > HF5260

This bill increases the penalties for certain crimes committed after unlawful reentry into the United States or for the benefit of a transnational crime organization. Specifically, the bill creates a new section in the Minnesota Statutes that imposes a longer maximum sentence (up to 5 years longer) for felonies committed after being deported or removed from the United States. The maximum sentence is increased further (up to 10 years longer) if the victim is a child under 18 years old. The bill also amends the existing law on crimes committed for the benefit of a "criminal gang" to include crimes committed for the benefit of a "transnational crime organization," which is defined as an organization that facilitates international trafficking of drugs, humans, or weapons, or international human smuggling.
