Rubio Strips Immigration Status From Child Rapist That Minnesota Pardoned
Tou Lue Vang raped a 10-year-old for two years; three officials erased his record June 10 over her forgiveness letter.
- Vang, a Hmong immigrant, was convicted in 2006 of raping a 10-year-old girl repeatedly.
- He told police the rapes were 'a cultural thing,' citing marrying girls as young as 12.
- Walz, Ellison and Chief Justice Hudson purged his record June 10, deportation days away.
Why it mattersA pardon board dissolved a rape conviction with three votes; deportation needed a fourth official to fix it.
