Minnesota Governor Faces Backlash After Pardoning Convicted Child Offender New

Minnesota Governor Faces Backlash After Pardoning Convicted Child Offender

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. The Minnesota Clemency Review Commission voted to grant a pardon for Tou Lue Vang, 42, despite his conviction for sexually assaulting a young girl, just before he was expected to be deported back to Laos. DHS“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. Minnesota Governor Tim Walz testifies during the House Oversight and Accountability Committee hearing investigating fraud in Minnesota state social services, on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, March 4, 2026. REUTERSThe 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 US 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.

Why House Democrats Rejected the Balanced Budget Amendment New

Why House Democrats Rejected the Balanced Budget Amendment

The U.S. House of Representatives on Wednesday rejected legislation aimed at requiring the federal government to maintain a balanced budget, dealing a setback to a long-standing goal of fiscal conservatives.Lawmakers voted 211-207 against the resolution, which would have begun the process of amending the Constitution to prohibit deficit spending.The measure required a two-thirds majority in both chambers of Congress before being sent to the states for ratification.Nearly every Democrat opposed the proposal, with only one voting in favor.The amendment effort faced significant challenges from the start, given the high threshold required for passage.Advertisement Despite the outcome, the vote was significant for budget hawks, including the bill’s sponsor, Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz. He said the effort reflects years of advocacy among conservatives pushing for stricter fiscal controls.“Many of us have been agitating for years to do a balanced budget amendment, and out of the blue, they said, ‘we’re ready to do it,’” Biggs said in an interview.“They didn’t ask me to do anything, didn’t offer anything,” he said, referring to House GOP leadership. “Just out of the blue, I got a call,” Biggs added.Balanced budget amendments have been introduced more than 100 times since 1999, according to legislative data analyzed by the Pew Research Center.The concept saw its peak in the 1970s and 1980s and remains one of the most frequently proposed constitutional changes.Biggs’ proposal would have required that federal spending in a given year not exceed the average annual revenue collected over the previous three years, adjusted for inflation and population growth.The resolution included an exception for times of declared war, allowing Congress to approve spending beyond the cap.Modern military conflicts, including those following World War II, have typically been funded through deficit spending without formal declarations of war.That reality has complicated past efforts to impose strict balanced budget requirements.The proposal also sought to impose a two-thirds vote requirement in both the House and Senate for any new taxes or tax increases.Current law allows tax legislation to pass with a simple majority under certain procedures, including budget reconciliation.While the measure fell short, it underscores continued divisions in Congress over fiscal policy and the role of deficit spending in federal governance.Supporters argue that a balanced budget requirement would impose discipline on federal spending, while opponents warn it could limit the government’s ability to respond to economic downturns or emergencies.The House passed legislation Wednesday aimed at cracking down on illegal immigrants accused of committing welfare fraud, approving the measure over strong opposition from most Democrats.Lawmakers voted 231-186 to pass the Deporting Fraudsters Act, with 186 Democrats voting against it. The bill was introduced by Rep. David Taylor, R-Ohio.The legislation would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to explicitly classify fraud involving public benefits as a deportable offense.Republicans said the measure is designed to ensure that noncitizens who defraud taxpayer-funded programs are removed from the country and barred from returning.“If you admit to or you’re convicted of fraudulently receiving public benefits, you are out of here on the next plane and can never return,” Rep. Tom McClintock, R-Calif., said during debate on the House floor.Democrats largely opposed the bill, arguing that existing law already allows for the deportation of noncitizens convicted of fraud. They characterized the legislation as unnecessary and duplicative.Republicans pushed back on that claim, saying the bill does not prevent criminal prosecution before removal and maintains existing legal processes.GOP lawmakers argued that the measure strengthens enforcement by closing perceived loopholes.The U.S. House is also trying to pass the Save America Act again this week.This article may contain commentary which reflects the author's opinion.
