Assault & Self-Defense
Misdemeanor (5th degree assault) — up to 90 days jail, $1,000 fine
Felony (1st-3rd degree assault) — up to 20 years prison, $30,000 fine
Minnesota requires a duty to retreat before using deadly force, except in your home (Castle Doctrine). You may use reasonable force without retreating when defending against an imminent threat.
Criminal Thresholds & Expungement
Expungement available for all criminal records (2015 expansion). Courts weigh public safety, rehabilitation, and consequences of the record.
Immigration Consequences
Minneapolis-St. Paul has a large Somali and growing Arab American community. Minneapolis has sanctuary city policies limiting ICE cooperation. Minnesota courts are increasingly familiar with cultural and immigration considerations in criminal cases.
For Arab and Muslim community members with immigration concerns, it is critical to have an attorney who understands both criminal defense strategy and immigration consequences. A conviction that seems minor can lead to deportation, denial of naturalization, or loss of visa status.
