EXCERPT:
The four Minnesota officials who voted to pardon Tou Lue Vang, an illegal alien from Laos convicted of child rape, cited “immigration concerns” and rehabilitation as reasons for their decision, according to documents from the Minnesota Clemency Review Commission reviewed by Fox News.
The vote was 4-2 to recommend the pardon. The Minnesota Board of Pardons, made up of Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justice Natalie Hudson, granted Vang a full pardon, giving him a clean slate.
On Friday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the U.S. deported Vang, despite receiving a pardon from those officials.
