According to then-leader Greg Lewin in 2020, the bail fund "do not make determinations of bail support based on the crimes that individuals are alleged to have committed".[2] Co-executive director Mirella Ceja-Orozco had said that the organization does not "judge whether the person had committed a crime or not because that's what the courts are for".[1] The fund has drawn criticism for some of the people it bailed out.[14] A 32-year-old man from Minneapolis who was bailed out of jail by the organization in July 2020 after an alleged assault, was charged in connection to another alleged assault in August.[15] By August 2020, the organization had paid the $100,000 bail for a person accused of second-degree murder and the $350,000 bail for a person accused of sexual assault and kidnapping.[8] In February 2021, Hennepin County Attorney Michael O. Freeman criticized the organization for twice bailing out a man with pending charges for weapons and rioting charges, and a judge set a bail threshold for the man above what the organization typically pays.[16] According to the National Review, the fund was also used to bail out people accused of violent crimes and people with prior convictions for sexual assault.[1/QUOTE]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Freedom_Fund
