I am rarely surprised by anything the criminal party of Democrats does. But this is astonishing and appalling. Gobsmacked.
Why the pardon? In order to avoid this pedo’s deportation.
Tim Walz just DOUBLED DOWN and defended keeping a convicted child s*x offender in Minnesota.
The man – a Laotian national living here illegally – was convicted in 2006 of repeatedly s*xually ass-ulting a 10-year-old girl for years.
He even offered her money to stay quiet.

Exposed docs reveal why Tim Walz board awarded repeat child rapist pardon: ‘No future’
Tue Lue Vang, convicted of raping a girl starting at age 10, has been deported to Laos after Rubio intervened
By Peter Pinedo, Fox News, July 13, 2026:
A 42-year-old illegal immigrant convicted of repeatedly raping a child was awarded a pardon by Gov. Tim Walz’s board of pardons after the state’s clemency commission recommended it be granted to him due to “immigration concerns.”
Fox News Digital reviewed documents from the Minnesota Clemency Review Commission, which voted 4-2 to grant a pardon to Laotian national Tue Lue Vang following his conviction for criminal sexual conduct. Vang admitted to repeatedly raping a girl over a multi-year period beginning when she was 10 years old. While the two board members who voted against granting a pardon noted the serious nature of Vang’s offenses, the four members recommending a pardon each listed concern about him being deported.
ADVERTISEMENTOne commissioner, Zach Linstrom, who voted in favor of granting the pardon, wrote in his recommendation, “Very tough case but the kids not having a father is not in the best interest of society,” referring to Vang’s six children. Artika Roller, another commissioner who voted in favor of the pardon, wrote, “The applicant stated the need for clemency related to immigration issues.”
Following the commission’s recommendation, the Minnesota Board of Pardons, which consists of Walz, state Attorney General Keith Ellison and Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justice Natalie Hudson, awarded Vang a full pardon on June 10, essentially giving him a clean slate as he was set to be deported.
