In this episode, Shannon Archer, Assistant County Attorney, Polk County, Iowa; Christopher Freeman, Senior Assistant County Attorney, Hennepin County, Minnesota; and Elliot Casey from the Virginia Commonwealth’s Attorney Services Council discuss the fundamentals of building trust with immigrant victims of crime in the United States. Doing so requires humility and the willingness to be continuously learning, while making sure to listen and ask the right questions to build an understanding of victims' needs and experiences. The prosecutor panelists stress the need for prosecutors to manage victims' expectations, provide accurate information, and maintain consistent communication. Finally, the discussion touches on the challenges of working with immigrant victims, including misinformation and the fear of immigration consequences, and the role of the U Visa in protecting communities and enhancing cooperation with immigrant victims.
