Tim Walz Protects a Child Rapist from Deportation

The board’s decision provides a new line of attack by the Trump administration against Minnesota leaders, who have served as a foil in the president’s battle against Democratic states on a variety of fronts, including immigration. The state was the site of an immigration crackdown that led to the arrests of thousands and the fatal shootings by federal agents of two Americans.

Democratic governors have long faced scrutiny for pardoning immigrants with criminal records who have served their sentences, in an effort to slow or halt their deportations. They often weigh a number of factors as part of their decision, including the severity of the crime.

Mr. Vang’s situation is notable in that it involves a sex offense against a child, a type of crime that is widely reviled.

The Times said further, On the same day Mr. Vang received a pardon, the board denied clemency to another man who was facing deportation to Laos. They deemed him insufficiently remorseful for his past convictions, which included participating in the group rape of a 12-year-old girl.

Was Walz sitting on that panel? Probably not. This is how neo-Democrats think: protect the criminals, the real victims. This man should not be here. Why is he even free? It’s a horrific crime.

How do you judge remorsefulness? Is one a better actor? It doesn’t matter if they are sorry. Get them out of here.
