Walz And Ellison Pardoned A Child Rapist; DHS Deported Him
Tou Lue Vang was convicted of sexually abusing a 10-year-old before the pardon; Rubio then voided its immigration effect, clearing deportation.
- Gov. Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison issued the pardon, per the White House release.
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio voided the pardon's effect, allowing DHS to proceed with deportation.
- Tom Homan said on air he could not fully say what he'd tell Walz.
Why it matters: Clemency here protected the offender, not the victim; it took a different power to reverse it.
