Trump administration DEPORTS illegal migrant pedophile weeks after woke Minnesota Governor Tim Walz pardoned him for rape of girl, 10 in bid to keep him in the US

By WILL POTTER, US SENIOR NEWS REPORTER Published: 15:27, 10 July 2026 | Updated: 15:28, 10 July 2026 White House officials have deported a pedophile illegal migrant a month after he was pardoned by Minnesota's Democrat governor for the rape of a 10-year-old girl. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Laotian predator Tou Lue Vang's departure from the United States on Friday morning. Governor Tim Walz sparked outrage on June 10 after pardoning Vang, 42, over the 2005 assault to stop him from being deported. Rubio said Friday: 'Laotian national Tou Lue Vang was convicted of sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl in Minnesota. He was set to be deported until @GovTimWalz issued him a pardon. Then, I revoked his legal status. '@ICEgov has removed him from the U.S. and he will never endanger another American.'  Tou Lue Vang, 42, was deported to Laos weeks after being pardoned by Minnesota's Democrat Governor Tim Walz Walz's attempt to keep Vang in the country sparked nationwide fury but ultimately backfired by drawing federal attention to the case.  The failed vice presidential candidate said he'd taken into account Vang's claim that his 'culture' allowed for sexual contact between adults and children.   Rubio said the gravity of Vang's offenses merited his removal from the United States. 'He even tried to pay his victim for her silence,' Rubio added, 'and called those heinous crimes "minor things."'  Developing story, check back for updates...
