Minnesota Pardon of Convicted Child Rapist Thao Vang

At 14:06 · chapter starts 11:30

A clip from Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner sets the scene: the Trump administration has accused Minnesota Governor Tim Walz of protecting an illegal immigrant convicted of repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old child. Homeland Security says the man, Thao Vang, had his legal status revoked after conviction and faced a final deportation order — but the Minnesota Board of Pardons voted to grant him clemency. Colvett reads the actual pardon letter aloud, which congratulates Vang and promises an official certificate. Blake Neff argues the pardon was almost certainly timed to block deportation and frames it as evidence of what he calls 'two-tier justice': the left reduces sentences, issues pardons, and changes statutes — California even cut certain jail terms from one year to 364 days to avoid triggering automatic deportation — all to create a system that protects criminal immigrants while fully punishing American citizens. Colvett invokes the testimony of Sheridan Gorman's mother, who tearfully told Congress 'choose us,' to sharpen the contrast.

Minnesota Pardons Convicted Child Rapist to Block Deportation

The Minnesota Board of Pardons granted clemency to Thao Vang — convicted of repeatedly sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl — because he faced a federal deportation order. The pardon letter congratulated him. Blake Neff argues this is a deliberate pattern: the left changes laws and issues pardons specifically to keep criminal immigrants in the country.

Blake Neff outlined a specific California law change that reduced certain jail sentences from one year to 364 days — one day less than the threshold that triggers automatic deportation. Combined with sanctuary pardons like Minnesota's, this reveals a deliberate legal architecture designed to prevent deportation of criminal immigrants.
