Tim Walz offered a baffling response on Tuesday to the Trump administration deporting an illegal migrant convicted of raping a 10-year-old girl who was pardoned by the Minnesota governor last month.

“Did that make us any safer? Did that make the children that are left behind any more stable,” Walz asked – days after Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed that he revoked the legal status of Tou Lue Vang, a 42-year-old from Laos.

“Did it improve the idea that we can’t all be judged by our worst day? And I want to be very clear, these are horrific crimes. They often are,” Walz added, according to KTTC.

The Department of Homeland Security on Friday announced the deportation of Vang, a convicted sex offender who had been pardoned by Walz last month.

In a statement, the White House confirmed Rubio terminated Vang’s legal status and deported him back to Laos.

“Under President Trump, criminal illegal aliens who rape children will be found, arrested, and removed—and Democrat politicians will not stand in the way,” the statement read.
