A pardon too far

From Bill Melugin of Fox News,

For Tou Vang, child rape is “normal in his culture.” Then let us each act according to our national customs and deport Vang back to his homeland, where he can practice his cultural traditions as he sees fit, and see where that leads.

The details of the Vang case are horrific enough. But now we have the added outrage of Democratic politicians trying so score points against “Trump” by preventing the deportation of this monster.

I wrote about a similar case in May involving an armed robber. Minnesota is host to another large, monolithic-voting ethnic community, this one involving Southeast Asians. As with the state’s Somali community, without huge turnout in the Southeast Asian voting block, Democrats could not win elections in Minnesota.

As with any large group, a few of its members have run afoul of the law over the years and have been threatened with deportation. For the first time ever, we have a President (Trump) willing to carry out deportations, and home nations (Laos, Vietnam, etc.) newly willing to take back their own citizens.

To prevent these deportations, Walz and state Attorney General Keith Ellison have been issuing “emergency” pardons that they hope will prevent the execution of final deportation orders filed against these criminals.

An idea so crazy it just may work. Adding insult to injury,

The letter from state government to Mr. Vang begins with a “Congratulations!” on his avoiding accountability for child rape.

This case could have been quickly forgotten if not for the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security (DHS) making a big deal about it. DHS has posted on X (Twitter) many times over the past few days on the case.

The New York Post, the U.K. Daily Mail, and Fox News have all picked up the story, which is well and good. But this case caught the eye of the New York Times.

Minnesota Pardons Sexual Abuser Who Was Set to Be Deported

With the Times picking up the story, other left-wing outlets feel compelled/allowed to file their own reports.
