Vang, who arrived in 1994, was convicted in 2006 of repeatedly raping a 10-year-old girl. Despite his conviction and sentence, he received a pardon, largely justified by concerns for his children and immigration status. This decision was supported by a split vote (4-2) on the Minnesota Clemency Review Commission, with some members emphasizing Vang\u2019s remorse and his children\u2019s well-being. Critics argue that the pardon was motivated by a misguided sense of empathy and immigration considerations, rather than justice or public safety. The revocation of Vang&#8217;s legal status and his deportation to Laos was later enforced by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who condemned the decision and emphasized the importance of protecting American citizens from sex offenders. The article portrays this pardon as reflecting a broader ideological stance that prioritizes the rights of an offender over public safety and raises concerns about the influence of progressive policies and appointment processes on such decisions.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Laotian national Tue Lue Vang ought to have been deported years ago. After arriving in this country in 1994 and given legal status under the Clinton administration, he was convicted in 2006 of repeatedly raping a 10-year-old girl.<\/p>\n<p>This meant his legal status was revoked, but he wasn\u2019t set to be deported until President Donald Trump started enforcing immigration law. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/control-tim-walz-pardons-releases-illegal-child-rapist-now-ice-likely-cant-deport\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Then, Gov. Tim Walz<\/a> and his fellow Minnesota progressives stepped in. They decided to pardon him \u2014 an outrageous decision, and outrage it created.<\/p>\n<p>Secretary of State Marco Rubio didn\u2019t care about what the Minnesota radicals thought and revoked Vang\u2019s legal status, sending him<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/sick-man-child-tim-walz-bringing-national-guard-back-dc-rubio-deports-child-rapist-walz-pardoned\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> back to Laos<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmericans should never have to live in fear that foreign sex predators \u2014 shielded from deportation by their own elected officials \u2014 could endanger them or their children,\u201d Rubio told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/marco-rubio-steps-tim-walz-pardoned-illegal-alien-child-rapist-deportation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a> after the decision last week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why I terminated his legal status in the United States,\u201d he added. \u201cVang has now been removed from our country and will never pose a threat to any American ever again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fair enough \u2014 but aside from Gov. Walz, what kind of monstrous leftist would be so suicidally empathetic as to pardon Vang to let him stay in the country due to \u201cimmigration concerns\u201d? <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/exposed-docs-reveal-why-tim-walz-board-awarded-repeat-child-rapist-pardon-no-future\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a> also found that out, reviewing documents from the Minnesota Clemency Review Commission.<\/p>\n<p>Their reasoning? Letting him remain in the United States was in the best interest of children \u2014 <em>Vang\u2019s<\/em> children. The child-rapist\u2019s kids. As for other kids in the country? They can fend for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Monday report, the vote on the decision to grant the pardon to 42-year-old Vang was split 4-2 on the board.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery tough case, but the kids not having a father is not in the best interest of society,\u201d wrote Commissioner Zach Linstrom in his decision, according to Fox. Vang has six children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe applicant stated the need for clemency related to immigration issues,\u201d wrote another board member, Artika Roller, who also voted for clemency.<\/p>\n<p>This was in spite of the fact that Ramsey County prosecutor Tami McConkey argued strongly against the pardon, saying that the county office had offered Vang a lighter penalty than would ordinarily be given to a child rapist because the victim, then 12, was pressured by her family into not cooperating with authorities.<\/p>\n<p>She added in a statement, according to Fox, that \u201cwhile Mr. Vang expresses shame and regret about what his children experience when [they] learn of the offense, he does not  any thoughts or insight about what the victim must have gone through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vang was more forthcoming than the girl was, which ultimately led to his conviction: \u201cI made a mistake, but this is a minor thing. It is a cultural thing in Thailand to marry and have sex with girls as young as 12,\u201d he told police in a statement after his arrest, the criminal complaint read.<\/p>\n<p>While he received a 12-year state prison sentence after being convicted, that sentence was stayed, according to Fox, and Vang ultimately received 30 years supervised probation in its stead with eight months of confinement at a county facility.<\/p>\n<p>And now, it appears that someone is again pressuring the victim into supporting Vang\u2019s cause.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe victim supports this pardon. His [Vang\u2019s] wife stayed and has forgiven. He also [has] immigration concerns. He has remorse and was discharged from probation,\u201d wrote Minnesota Clemency Review Commissioner Nadine Graves in her decision, according to Fox.<\/p>\n<p>Now, you can blame this slice of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/dont-forget-key-platner-staffer-talked-penis-book-10-year-old-boys-said-wanted-see-images\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sick wokeness<\/a> on the Minnesota Clemency Review Commission, except for the fact that it was signed by Walz. And then, of course, you might want to know who appoints these commissioners in the first place. From the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lrl.mn.gov\/agencies\/detail?AgencyID=2540\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minnesota Legislative Reference Library<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>The commission consists of nine members, each serving a term coterminous with the governor.

As for <em>your <\/em>kids \u2014 well, you must understand, this is for the greater good, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/ice-stages-mass-arrests-renee-good-style-agitators-shadowing-agents-street\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">progressive Minnesotan mind<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And to think, in an alternate universe where Americans didn\u2019t realize what disgusting frauds he and his ticket mate were, Walz would be vice president of the United States \u2014 one Kamala Harris heartbeat away from the presidency.
