City Attorney Erika Evans clearly states that SOAP and SODA are not effective. She says SOAP orders don't work. She says ERPO orders work and that's what they'll be doing.

Leader Hortman was a tireless advocate for all Minnesotans. She championed the 2024 ERPO Law and many public safety laws. It is tragic that Melissa and Mark Hortman are, like too many Americans, victims of gun violence. #mnleg

Minnesota’s 2024 red flag law lets courts temporarily remove guns from people at risk, but it only works if people know about it. ERPO filings have more than doubled since 2024, coordinator Samantha Hoyt said. This year, judges issued 151 orders out of 163 requests.

“Our findings provide rigorous evidence that ERPO laws can prevent firearm suicides without measurable increases in suicides by other means."
Would love for Senator Kavanagh to weigh in on this twisting of his words in service of, again, proceedings against a barely-11-year-old!
![In the post-hearing OAG Letter, OAG claims that "the legislative history of the
ERPO statute substantiates that ERPO hearings would be summary proceedings."
(OAG Letter, 3). In support of this contention, OAG then cites to 2017 remarks by the Red Flag Law's sponsor, Assemblymember Brian Kavanagh, quoting the Assemblymember as saying that the three to six day turnaround to a hearing was
"a very fast timeframe for this kind of thing in New York State." (OAG Letter, 2).
OAG's use of this partial quotation to support the idea of "summary proceedings" is misleading. What the Assemblymember actually said was:
The hearing standard is within three to six business days, which is a very fast timeframe for this kind of thing in New York State. It's three to six business days. Within that time, unless the respondent sought additional time to prepare for the hearing, the respondent would be able to face the evidence that's presented to them. They would have a right to be represented by counsel and they would proceed - you would proceed then to have a full hearing on the question.
(OAG Letter, Ex.4, p.45 [emphasis added]). Other portions of the legislative history provided by OAG reinforce this point. In the Assembly, when questioned about the fact that an ERPO brought by law enforcement might be based solely on hearsay, Assemblymember Simon explained that a witness with personal knowledge might be "very fearful and has observed firsthand, but doesn't want to be the applicant themselves, the petitioner. But, in fact, that person may be called to testify at a hearing, because there will be a hearing. Because in our bill, due process is protected from the very beginning[.]" (OAG Letter, Ex.5, p.40 [emphasis added]).
OAG's inference as to the Legislature's intent is not only contradicted by the very evidence it cites, it is also belied by the fact that the Legislature has imposed similarly tight time constraints on similar proceedings, with even greater burdens](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ssxnmhdtz6le6nxu7jfhglz6/bafkreia2a4il2tyeyziuzcl4jtubj2dqkhl4tllfvrzwtje4nttisephg4)

The worst part is…We DO have laws in place for a situation like this. The family sought support from law enforcement and wasn’t given it. Why was an ERPO not issued? 💔 This is devastating.

this of course doesn’t top the time i reviewed court paperwork for an ERPO that cited various occasions of snapchatting the FBI during a handful of psychosis episodes
