Title
"INS jumped Karri Reen" radio episode
Description
An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin on the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) stopping Norwegian resident alien Karri Reen (perhaps misspelled) at the Seattle-Tacoma Airport during a background check, 10 years after her and her husband James Youngworth were convicted for illegally growing marijuana for personal use in 1993. After their settled 1993 conviction, the couple received probation and community service orders, but the INS deemed Reen an "aggravated felon" in 2003, threatened to deport her, and arrested her with "post-9/11 zeal." AuCoin deems the situation a case of douple jeopardy: the INS applied a current law to a past conviction. This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in 2003.
