In this training, co-sponsored by the Prosecutors Alliance and the Immigrant Legal Resource Center (ILRC), we will highlight some basics of federal immigration law, the duties of the prosecution imposed by recent California state legislation, and a collaborative approach to handling both current plea negotiations and post-conviction relief litigation.
