California Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday pardoned five ex-convicts facing deportation, including two whose families fled the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia four decades ago.
The pardons don't automatically stop deportation proceedings, but eliminate the state convictions federal authorities based their deportation decisions on. That gives the men's lawyers strong legal arguments before immigration judges to try to prevent the deportations.
"The pardon does provide enormous benefit to immigrants facing deportation," said Anoop Prasad, an immigration staff attorney at Asian Law Caucus.
Brown's intervention for the men — among 56 pardoned — marked the Democratic governor's third consecutive pardon round in which he intervened on behalf of immigrants who were deported or faced deportation because of criminal convictions. Brown has accused the administration of President Donald Trump of "basically going to war" with California over immigration policy.

We’re gonna need a longer wall.
Yep, it’s a long way to Cambodia....
WTF? What crimes were they pardoned from being convicted of? A governor is PARDONING convicted felons so the FELONS can’t be deported?
And the people of California have not revolted?
It’s even worse than I thought!
So, let me get this straight, the Governor of California is pardoning convicted criminals so they can stay in the USA and continue their crimes without fear of deportation?
And the victims, I mean citizens, of California are okay with this?
Someone named Mahre to China? First of all they won’t take him.
Every state outside of California should deport illegal aliens—-to California.
That will never cost a Democrat.
Pheach was convicted of possessing drugs and obstructing a police officer in 2005 and served six months in jail. His wife said he is in federal custody.
Also pardoned was Daniel Maher, who was convicted in 1995 of kidnapping, robbery and being a felon in possession of a firearm and served five years in prison. Maher is facing deportation to China.
Chhan, Pheach and Maher hold permanent U.S. residency but had exhausted all legal avenues to fight deportation,...(snip)
Also pardoned while facing deportation were Daniel Mena and Francisco Acevedo Alaniz, but their home countries were not immediately known. Mena was convicted in 2003 of possessing illegal drugs. Alaniz served five months in prison for a 1997 auto theft conviction.”
Moonbeam’s attempted end run means little at the federal level. Any status previously enjoyed is now void.
Cue the medley of the Dead Kennedy’s “California Uber Alles” and “Holiday in Cambodia”
The suddenly PRO immigration gov moonbeam fought vigorously 4 decades ago to keep these refugees OUT of Kalifornia . . . . .
Brown accused Trump of “going to war with California’s immigration policy”. It’s the other way around. Leftists are the definition of contradiction.
California is nearly gone.
We seriously should not let California run their federal elections, considering their animosity toward the federal government’s laws regarding the rights of illegal aliens.
California is an actual and demonstrable threat to national security and to the security of its legal citizens.
From the article: “Pheach was convicted of possessing drugs and obstructing a police officer in 2005 and served six months in jail. His wife said he is in federal custody.
Also pardoned was Daniel Maher, who was convicted in 1995 of kidnapping, robbery and being a felon in possession of a firearm and served five years in prison. Maher is facing deportation to China.”
Just the kind of folks American citizens in CA want to have living with them.

California needs to be declared in a state of rebellion, its state government dissolved and reverted back to territorial status. Then it needs to be reconstructed back into 2 - 4 states.
Hey REAL Americans, in your face!!!!
Sick Moonbeam.
WTF? What crimes were they pardoned from being convicted of?
