包括民主党籍州长蒂姆·瓦尔兹在内的明尼苏达州官员上月赦免了一名非法移民，该人此前曾因性侵一名10岁女童被定罪，且原本即将被递解出境。
根据明尼苏达州赦免审查委员会（CRC）执行主任卡莉·斯塔克告知范某此决定的信件，由瓦尔兹、州检察长基思·埃利森和州首席大法官娜塔莉·哈德逊领导的明尼苏达州赦免委员会，在6月10日的会议上，基于赦免审查委员会的建议，为42岁的老挝籍公民陶·吕·范（Tou Lue Vang）批准了赦免。
此次赦免实质上为范某抹去了此前的犯罪记录。
“获得赦免是一项显著成就，也反映了你定罪后所做的努力，”斯塔克在给范某的信件中写道。

范某于2006年因一级刑事性行为罪名被定罪。2002年至2006年间，他多次性侵这名女童。
据美国国土安全部消息，他曾给女童10美元，要求其不要声张虐待行为。
他通过认罪协议承认一级刑事性行为罪名，从而免于入狱。
“州长蒂姆·瓦尔兹赦免一名已定罪的非法移民儿童强奸犯，使其得以留在美国，这一决定令人作呕，”美国国土安全部代理助理部长劳伦·比斯在一份声明中说道。“他和明尼苏达州的庇护政客们所保护的，正是这类犯下重罪的非法移民。”

比斯指出，范某定罪后便丧失了合法身份。
福克斯新闻数字频道已联系瓦尔兹、白宫以及起诉范某性侵案的拉姆西县检察官办公室。
2005年范某因相关指控被捕时，他承认与该女童发生过性接触，但将此归咎于泰国的文化规范，据《纽约时报》获取的起诉书显示。
由九名成员组成的赦免审查委员会于4月投票批准了范某的赦免申请。据《泰晤士报》报道，四名成员投了赞成票，两名反对，三人缺席。
赦免委员会会考虑审查委员会的意见，但最终是否批准赦免的权力仍由赦免委员会掌握。
在赦免申请中，范某提及自己多年来的改造经历，并辩称他已为自己的行为承担全部责任。

范某于1994年经加州入境美国，克林顿政府时期曾授予其合法身份。该身份在2006年他定罪并收到最终递解令后被撤销。
去年，他因特朗普政府在明尼苏达州开展的“地铁突袭行动”被联邦当局拘留。

唐纳德·特朗普总统曾多次批评瓦尔兹和明尼苏达州官员的庇护政策，该政策保护非法移民，即便这些人犯下暴力重罪，也能免受联邦当局追责。
国土安全部指出，赦免审查委员会此前也曾向无证移民批准过赦免。
今年5月，该州赦免了贾伊·范，一名老挝裔公民，其犯罪记录包括抢劫罪、商业武装抢劫罪以及酒后驾车罪。

Walz, Minnesota Board of Pardons clears convicted illegal alien child sex offender facing deportation

Laos national convicted of sexually assaulting 10-year-old girl has slate wiped clean

Minnesota officials, including Democrat Gov. Tim Walz, last month pardoned an illegal immigrant who was previously convicted of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl and who was slated to be deported.
With the recommendation of the Minnesota Clemency Review Commission (CRC), the Minnesota Board of Pardons— led by Walz, state Attorney General Keith Ellison and state Chief Justice Natalie Hudson — granted a pardon for Laos national Tou Lue Vang, 42, at its June 10 meeting, according to a letter informing Vang of the decision from Carli Stark, the executive director of the state CRC.
The pardon essentially gives Vang a clean slate.
“Being granted a pardon is a notable achievement and a reflection of the work you have done since your conviction,” Stark wrote in her letter to Vang.

Vang was convicted in 2006 of first-degree criminal sexual conduct. Between 2002 and 2006, he repeatedly sexually assaulted the girl.
At one point, he offered her $10 to keep quiet about the abuse, according to DHS.
He pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal sexual conduct in a plea deal that spared him from going to prison.
“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 in a statement. “These are the criminal illegal aliens he and his Minnesota sanctuary politicians are protecting.”

Bis noted that Vang lost his legal status following his conviction.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Walz, the White House and the Ramsey County Attorney’s Office, which prosecuted Vang for the assaults.
When he was arrested on charges in 2005, Vang admitted to having sexual contact with the girl but blamed cultural norms in Thailand, according to the complaint obtained by the New York Times.
The CRC, which includes nine members, voted to approve Mr. Vang’s petition in April. Four members voted in favor, two voted against, and three were absent, the Times reported.
The board takes the commission’s review into account but retains the ultimate authority to grant or deny pardons.
In his application, Vang cited his years of rehabilitation and argued that he has taken full responsibility for his actions.

Vang entered the U.S. through California in 1994, and was granted legal status by the Clinton administration. That status was revoked upon his conviction and final order of removal in 2006.
He was detained by federal authorities last year as part of the Trump administration’s “Operation Metro Surge” in Minnesota.

President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized Walz and Minnesota officials over sanctuary policies that protect illegal immigrants, even those convicted of violent crimes, from federal authorities.
DHS noted that the Review Commission has granted pardons to undocumented immigrants before.
In May, the state pardoned Jai Vang, a Laotian citizen whose criminal history includes convictions for robbery, armed robbery of a business, and driving under the influence of liquor.
