@yass.unitedstates: Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz is facing criticism after the state Board of Pardons granted clemency to a Laotian national previously convicted of s*xually assaulting a 10-year-old girl. The pardon has reignited debate over immigration, public safety, and the state's clemency process. State officials say the decision followed a review of the man's rehabilitation, while critics argue the pardon sends the wrong message given the seriousness of the underlying offense. #minnesota #governor #timwalz #pardon #illegalimmigrants
