This week, Minnesota’s Board of Pardons — Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN), Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Chief Justice Natalie Hudson — voted to wipe out the conviction of a man found guilty of first-degree criminal sexual conduct against a 10-year-old girl, days before that conviction was set to get him deported. He’d assaulted her repeatedly over two years. He tried to buy her silence with $10. Walz’s board looked at that record and decided he’d earned a clean slate more than his victim earned a country that keeps her attacker out of it.

That’s not a rogue caseworker. That’s a governor, an attorney general, and a chief justice, voting on the record. If you’re still waiting for Democrats to have a coming-to-Jesus moment on who their sanctuary politics actually protect, stop waiting. You just watched the answer.
