Tampon Tim Walz Board Pardons Repeat Child Rapist So He Does Not Have To Face "No Future" In Laos

State Department officials confirmed this week that they have finally revoked legal status for a convicted child sex abuser from Laos after Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and his merry band of pardon enthusiasts decided the real victim here was the rapist facing deportation.

A 42-year-old illegal immigrant who admitted to repeatedly raping a child received a full pardon from Governor Tim Walz's board after the state's clemency commission decided "immigration concerns" outweighed, you know, the whole repeatedly-raping-a-child thing.

Fox News Digital obtained the documents, which show the Minnesota Clemency Review Commission voted 4-2 to spring Laotian national Tue Lue Vang. Vang had confessed to raping a girl multiple times over several years, starting when she was just 10 years old. The two commissioners who voted against it cited the "serious nature" of the crimes. The four who voted for it mostly worried about Vang getting kicked out of the country he entered illegally.

One commissioner, Zach Linstrom, explained his yes vote by writing, "Very tough case but the kids not having a father is not in the best interest of society," apparently referring to Vang's six children. Fellow yes-voter Artika Roller added, "The applicant stated the need for clemency related to immigration issues."

With that rock-solid recommendation in hand, the Minnesota Board of Pardons, featuring such legal luminaries as Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Chief Justice Natalie Hudson, granted Vang a complete pardon on June 10. This wiped his record clean just in time to save him from deportation.

At the time, Homeland Security Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis called it like it was: "Governor Tim Walz's decision to pardon an illegal alien convicted child rapist so he can remain in our country is disgusting. These are the criminal illegal aliens he and his Minnesota sanctuary politicians are protecting," she said.

Vang had entered the United States through California in 1994 and received legal status under the Clinton administration. Between 2002 and 2004, while aged 18 to 20, he had sexual intercourse with the victim four to six times in St. Paul. The first assault occurred when she was in fourth grade.

Documents show the victim "did not understand what Vang was doing, so she let him." Later she told friends, who described her as "angry and sad." Vang once offered her $10 to stay quiet.

Ramsey County Assistant Attorney Tami McConkey strongly opposed the pardon. She pointed out aggravating factors such as the extended abuse, Vang driving the girl to his home for more assaults, and his failure to use protection. She also noted that Vang had told police, "I 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." He further suggested the victim should be arrested too because she was equally at fault.

McConkey observed that "while Mr. Vang expresses shame and regret about what his children experience when then [sic] learn of the offense, he does not share any thoughts or insight about what the victim must have gone through."

Yet several commissioners highlighted that the victim supposedly supported the pardon. Commissioner Nadine Graves wrote, "The victim supports this pardon. His [Vang’s] wife stayed and has forgiven. He also [has] immigration concerns. He has remorse and was discharged from probation."

Graves added that Vang "retracted his prior statement about this being a result of culture. He admits this was wrong then and will always be wrong." Commissioner Perry Moriearty praised "substantial evidence of rehabilitation, remorse and acceptance of responsibility" while noting Vang "is facing deportation" and "victim supports."

In his own pardon application, Vang wrote, "I carry deep shame and regret for the harm I caused." He fretted that deportation would send him "to a place entirely unfamiliar to me, with no family, no home, and no future."Vang added, "My fear is that, if deported, my children will grow up without a father, like I did" and "I will do all that I can to be here and to protect them from the outcomes of my deportation."

Thankfully, the Trump administration was not interested in Walz's compassionate approach to foreign child rapists. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Friday that he had terminated Vang's legal status and removed him to Laos.

Rubio told Fox News Digital, "Americans should never have to live in fear that foreign sex predators — shielded from deportation by their own elected officials — could endanger them or their children. That's why I terminated his legal status in the United States," he continued. "Vang has now been removed from our country and will never pose a threat to any American ever again."

Marco Rubio Cleans Up Tim Walz's Latest Gift to Criminal Illegal Aliens

If there were an award for making ICE's job as difficult as possible, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz would have to clear some shelf space for the awards he received as a fan dancer.

The governor who never seems to meet an illegal alien he doesn't want to protect found himself at the center of another stunning controversy after helping pardon a convicted child rapist just before he was set to be deported. Fortunately, Secretary of State Marco Rubio stepped in and did what Walz apparently would not, make sure the predator was sent packing.

In an exclusive report, Fox News Digital said that Rubio revoked the legal status of Tue Lue Vang, an illegal alien scumbag from Laos whose clemency from Walz and Minnesota's Board of Pardons threatened to derail his removal from the United States.

"Just weeks ago, a foreign child rapist was freed to once again endanger America's children after receiving a pardon from Minnesota Governor Tim Walz," Rubio said. "Tue Lue Vang admitted to committing heinous crimes against a 10-year-old girl in Minnesota. He attempted to pay his victim for her silence and dismissed his acts of child abuse as a 'minor thing.'"

That is the man Walz's pardon board decided deserved another chance. But another chance at what? Hunting for another innocent child to brutally assault? And this governor has a daughter of his own, so he obviously is incapable of having empathy for the child's parents, much less the child.

According to court records, Vang was convicted in 2006 of first-degree criminal sexual conduct after repeatedly raping a 10-year-old girl between 2002 and 2004. Following his arrest, he reportedly told investigators that "it is a cultural thing... to marry and have sex with girls as young as 12."

It's also a cultural thing for child rapists to be 'taken out' in American prisons.

Apparently, somewhere inside Minnesota's ever expanding progressive compassion manual, someone forgot to include a chapter titled "Don't pardon convicted child rapists."

Rubio continued his criticism of Walz's disgusting decision.

"Just days before he was scheduled to be deported, the Minnesota Governor pardoned him, setting him free to endanger American families once again," Rubio lamented.

Instead of accepting that outcome, Rubio took action.

"Americans should never have to live in fear that foreign sex predators shielded from deportation by their own elected officials could endanger them or their children."

"That's why I terminated his legal status in the United States," he continued. "Vang has now been removed from our country and will never pose a threat to any American ever again."

Let him get his culture on in Laos.

That statement sounds remarkably like what government is supposed to do.

Walz's anal retentive face

The pardon itself was not Walz acting alone. Minnesota's Board of Pardons, made up of Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Chief Justice Natalie Hudson, approved the clemency on June 10 after receiving a recommendation from the nine member Minnesota Clemency Review Commission.

The commission even congratulated Vang in writing.

"Being granted a pardon is a notable achievement and a reflection of the work you have done since your conviction," a CRC member said in a letter to Vang informing him of his clemency.

One has to wonder what exactly qualifies as a "notable achievement" these days. Evidently, in Minnesota's political class, serving time for repeatedly raping a child and avoiding deportation earns a congratulatory letter instead of a one way ticket home.

The Department of Homeland Security certainly was not impressed.

"Governor Tim Walz's decision to pardon an illegal alien convicted child rapist so he can remain in our country is disgusting," DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said. "These are the criminal illegal aliens he and his Minnesota sanctuary politicians are protecting."

The Democrats would vote for Hitler if he ran against a Republican.

Rubio ultimately ensured that Walz's pardon would not become a permanent shield against immigration enforcement. Vang has now been deported and barred from returning to the United States.

The episode also was not an isolated incident. In May, Walz and the same pardon board granted clemency to another illegal alien from Laos, this one a convicted armed robber, just before he too faced deportation.

Minnesota voters may eventually have to decide whether their governor's version of "mercy" is really just another word for putting criminals ahead of the safety of law abiding Americans, all for the sake of politics.

Tim Walz's Latest Act of "Compassion" Extends to Convicted Child Predator Facing Deportation

If there were an Olympic event for putting criminals ahead of law-abiding citizens, Democrat Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz would already be standing atop the podium collecting another gold medal waving at people who exist only in his mind.

The governor who never seems to meet a progressive cause he doesn't adore has now found yet another opportunity to demonstrate that, in modern left-wing politics, the criminal justice system is less about protecting victims and more about endlessly rehabilitating offenders, no matter how monstrous their crimes.

Walz is facing intense criticism after Minnesota's Board of Pardons approved clemency for Tou Lue Vang, a Laotian national piece of human garbage who was convicted of repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl. According to the Department of Homeland Security, the pardon may now interfere with federal efforts to deport him from the United States.

Good going, Tampon Timmy.

The Board of Pardons consists of comrades Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justice Natalie Hudson. The board signed off on the pardon after receiving a recommendation from the Minnesota Clemency Review Commission.

According to Fox News, the commission recommended the pardon by a narrow 4-2 vote, with three members absent, before forwarding it for final approval. In an astonishing letter to Vang, Clemency Review Commission Executive Director Carli Stark celebrated the decision by writing, "Being granted a pardon is a notable achievement and a reflection of the work you have done since your conviction."

One has to wonder whether anyone on the commission bothered to spare a thought for the little girl whose childhood was shattered.

Court records cited by DHS paint a horrifying picture. Prosecutors said Vang repeatedly sexually assaulted the 10-year-old victim between 2002 and 2004. On one occasion, he allegedly offered the child $10 to keep quiet.

His excuses proved no less revolting than his crimes.

According to court filings, Vang told investigators "it is a cultural thing...to marry and have sex with girls as young as 12." He also claimed the child was "just as guilty" and should be arrested alongside him.

Despite being convicted of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, Vang avoided prison through a plea agreement.

An immigration judge later ordered his removal from the United States on October 31, 2006. DHS says he was expected to be deported before Walz and his fellow board members stepped in with their act of mercy, potentially removing the very conviction that made him eligible for deportation.

The Department of Homeland Security did not mince words.

"Governor Tim Walz's decision to pardon an illegal alien convicted child rapist so he can remain in our country is disgusting," Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said.

"These are the criminal illegal aliens he and his Minnesota sanctuary politicians are protecting. Tou Lue Vang lost his legal status following his conviction for repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl. Following the conviction, he was placed in removal proceedings and issued a final order of removal by a judge. This pardon will take away this child rapist's qualifying convictions that made him removable from the United States."

Federal officials say Vang entered the United States through California in 1994 and received legal status during the Clinton administration. That status was revoked after his conviction and removal order.

Ironically, Vang had recently been taken into custody during the Trump administration's Operation Metro Surge before the pardon arrived like an unexpected rescue mission from Minnesota's progressive establishment. In his clemency application, Vang argued that he had accepted responsibility for his crimes and had rehabilitated himself.

Whether the victim shares that glowing assessment is another question entirely.

Disturbingly, DHS says this is not an isolated incident.

In May, Minnesota also granted a pardon to Jai Vang, another Laotian national identified by DHS as an illegal immigrant. According to the department, his criminal record included robbery, armed robbery of a business, and driving under the influence.

For Walz and Minnesota's progressive leadership, the pattern is becoming difficult to ignore. While ordinary citizens expect government to protect victims, enforce immigration law, and remove dangerous criminals from the country, this administration seems increasingly determined to extend grace to the very people who forfeited it through their own actions.

For politicians who endlessly lecture Americans about "accountability," accountability appears to end precisely where progressive ideology begins.
