TL;DR Summary

U.S. officials deported Tou Lue Vang, a Laos-born man who was pardoned by Minnesota’s Board of Pardons in June. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the revocation of Vang’s legal status and his removal from the United States, arguing the pardon would have shielded him from deportation. Vang, 42, had previously been convicted in 2006 of first-degree criminal sexual conduct for abusing a 10-year-old girl. The move comes amid federal scrutiny of the Minnesota pardon and its implications for immigration enforcement.
