Fong Khang hoped his legal troubles were over when the Minnesota Board of Pardons unanimously agreed on Jan. 20 to set aside eight criminal convictions that were threatening his ability to remain in the United States.
His wife burst into tears at the news, and a grateful Khang thanked the board, according to a videotape of the hearing. He said he was “deeply ashamed” of a string of thefts he committed nearly 20 years ago, crimes that had him in and out of jail until 2010.
Less than 24 hours later, federal agents stopped Khang on his way to work at one of two auto repair shops he owns in the Twin Cities area and took him into custody.
Khang, 46, is now sitting in a detention cell in Texas, more than 1,000 miles away from his wife and four daughters. He is facing deportation to his native Laos, which he fled with his mother and two siblings at the age of 1. In 1983, he became a legal permanent resident, a status that carries with it the risk of deportation for certain crimes.

Bye!
Thieving lawbreaker.
Fong Khang, a criminal illegal alien from Laos and previously affiliated with the 617 gang, convicted of burglary, receiving stolen property, and giving false information to police.
30,000,000 is a big number. We don’t have time to cry for each of them. If they are legally liable to deportation, JUST DO IT!
Nope.
Only libs & rinos would be otherwise inconsistent.
I don’t care how he would vote.
” set aside eight criminal convictions”
Not one, not three, not five, but eight. Not arrests, not accusations, but convictions.
Send him.
Buh Bye
Deport ALL illegals with all due prejudice.
DEPORT!!
How enlightened of the Minnesota Board of Pardons!
Red Star Libune putting multiple felon in most positive spin
How much fraudulent car insurance money has he collected in the last 15 years?
If zero - I apologize and retract.
In Minnesota, you have to wonder how much the board of pardons considered his immigration status and Governor Walz exhortations to fight ICE.
Good grief, law abiding American citizens were being arrested and sentenced to years in prison for walking into or being near the Capitol building by the same ilk of people who are going light on an illegal criminal who actually committed crimes in the US.
I feel no pity.
