Tim Walz Questions if Deporting Illegal Alien Child Molester He Pardoned Made the Community Safer

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) offered a bizarre response to the Trump administration deporting an illegal immigrant child molester he tried to protect, asking if it actually improved the idea that “we can’t all be judged by our worst day.”

Walz made the remarks after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) deported an illegal alien convicted of repeatedly sexually abusing a child for several years. This individual, Tou Lue Vang hailing from Laos, received a pardon from Walz prior to his deportation. He was convicted of repeatedly sexually abusing a girl from 2002 to 2004 — abuse which began when she was only 10 years old. An immigration judge ordered his deportation in 2006, meaning he lost the legal status he previously gained as a result of his heinous crimes.

ICE arrested Tou Lue Vang in December, but a Minnesota judge ordered his release months later, in February. In June, Walz — along with Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) and Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justice Natalie Hudson — pardoned him.

However, the Trump administration stepped in and Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Vang’s deportation. State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott told Breitbart News Daily that Walz’s decision to pardon the illegal immigrant child molester was completely “inexplicable.”
