Marco Rubio: Pardoned Minnesota Child Sex Offender Deported From US, Legal Status Revoked
DHS said Tou Lue Vang was removed after a 2006 sex-crime conviction and a final order of removal, despite a pardon issued last month.
- On Friday, the United States Department of Homeland Security deported Tou Lue Vang, a Laotian national, after a pardon from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz failed to block his removal from the country.
- Last month, the Minnesota Board of Pardons granted Vang a pardon, aiming to prevent his deportation following his 2006 conviction for repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl.
- Citing the offender's attempt to pay his victim $10 to remain silent, the Department of Homeland Security called the pardon "disgusting," while Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the removal on X.
- A federal immigration judge's 2006 removal order remained in effect, superseding the pardon, despite Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison's support for the decision as an "exhaustive process."
- Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated, "Because of our action, this foreign criminal will never pose a threat to any American ever again," as House Majority Whip Tom Emmer and other Republicans criticized the pardon.
