TL;DR
Sen. Marco Rubio criticized Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for pardoning Tue Lue Vang, a Laotian immigrant convicted of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a 10-year-old, arguing the clemency allowed him to avoid deportation; Rubio said Vang has since been removed from the United States, while DHS officials warned the move could shield the criminal from removal and highlighted the Clemency Review Commission’s role in the pardon.
