It is the latest in a series of actions by the Democratic governor as the Trump administration ramps up efforts to deport those with criminal records, particularly to Southeast Asian nations.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Friday announced that he is pardoning three men who separately committed crimes when they were each 19 years old and now are attempting to avoid being deported to Cambodia or Vietnam.
Those pardoned include Saman Pho, 44, of Oakland, who was the subject of a state Capitol rally and petition drive this month by immigrant rights groups. The group Asian Americans Advancing Justice — Asian Law Caucus said he was detained by immigration agents early last month.He arrived in the United States at age 7, fleeing Cambodia with his family. He was convicted in 1995 of attempted murder after shooting a victim in the leg during a fight, served 12 years in prison and now is married to a U.
Pardons do not automatically protect someone from being deported because they don’t erase the criminal convictions on which deportation orders often are based. But they do emphasize the person’s rehabilitation.Mai was sentenced to nearly three years in prison after his conviction in 2005 of being an accessory following a shooting during a fight, according to the governor’s office.
