## Resource

Minnesota just granted a pardon to a man convicted of child sexual abuse two decades ago — only for the federal government to deport him to Laos, effectively nullifying the state’s act of mercy. Critics slammed the pardon as weak on crime, while the victim, now an adult, surprisingly supported it. This clash exposes a deeper tension: can society truly believe in redemption, or does punishment always win out when it’s politically convenient?
