Minnesota pardon sparks backlash after DHS says violent convictions made deportation possible
Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is under fire after the state’s Board of Pardons moved to pardon At “Ricky” Chandee, a Laos-born immigrant facing imminent deportation by ICE. Federal officials said Chandee’s violent criminal convictions had made him removable from the United States, while Walz defended the move as mercy for a longtime Minnesota resident.
Why It Matters to You: This case puts a spotlight on the growing clash between state-level clemency powers and federal immigration enforcement. For Americans concerned about crime, border security, and equal justice, the question is whether political leaders are helping ICE enforce the law or finding ways around it. READ MORE

Christian Menefee defeated Green in the Democratic runoff for Texas’ newly redrawn 18th Congressional District, marking a stunning close to Green’s two-decade career in Washington.
