Vang, a Laotian national, was convicted of abusing a girl starting when she was 10 years old and remained in the U.S. despite his crime. The White House condemned Walz\u2019s decision, emphasizing that illegal aliens who commit such crimes should be deported, and accused Walz and Minnesota officials of attempting to block Vang\u2019s removal. Walz defended his pardon, claiming it was not related to immigration issues and that deporting Vang wouldn\u2019t increase safety. Some Minnesota officials indicated the decision was influenced by concerns over Vang\u2019s children and the desire to help him stay in the country. Critics, including DHS officials, argued that the pardon was an attempt to circumvent immigration laws.Walz stated that he believed the pardon was justified and not motivated by immigration policies, despite evidence suggesting that the decision was influenced by the desire to keep Vang in the U.S.  <\/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><\/p>\n<p>Minnesota Gov.
