New details have emerged regarding why Gov. Tim Walz’s Board of Pardons granted clemency to a 42-year-old undocumented immigrant who had been convicted of repeatedly raping a child.
According to documents reviewed by Fox News Digital, the two board members who opposed the pardon cited the serious nature of Tou Lue Vang’s offenses. The four members who supported clemency each referenced concerns related to his potential deportation.
One commissioner, Zach Linstrom, who voted in favor of the pardon, wrote, “Very tough case but the kids not having a father is not in the best interest of society,” referring to Vang’s six children. Another commissioner, Artika Roller, also supported the pardon, writing, “The applicant stated the need for clemency related to immigration issues.”
Following the board’s recommendation, Gov. Walz’s Board of Pardons granted Vang a full pardon. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later revoked Vang’s legal status, allowing him to be deported despite receiving the pardon.
