The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said July 10 that ICE had deported 42-year-old Tou Lue Vang, a Laotian national, after the State Department revoked his legal status. Vang was convicted in 2006 of criminal sexual conduct for repeatedly sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl. Minnesota’s Board of Pardons—Gov. Tim Walz, Attorney General Keith Ellison and Chief Justice Natalie Hudson—granted Vang a full pardon on June 10. Federal officials said the pardon had undercut deportation proceedings tied to the conviction before the status revocation.

Marco Rubio and the Trump administration were right to remove a dangerous immigrant convicted of child sex crimes. Tim Walz or Minnesota officials had wrongly shown leniency by pardoning him, and deportation protected Americans from a public-safety threat.
