Exposed docs reveal why Tim Walz board awarded repeat child rapist pardon: ‘No future’

Minnesota's clemency commission, a state group that advises on pardons, voted to pardon a Laotian man who admitted raping a child repeatedly. The commission said immigration concerns influenced its recommendation. Governor Tim Walz's board of pardons approved the pardon with a 4‑2 vote. Two board members opposed the pardon. The man, Tue Lue Vang, is a 42‑year‑old illegal immigrant convicted of criminal sexual conduct.
