Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is facing intense criticism following the state's decision to grant a full pardon to an individual previously convicted of sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl. The pardon has drawn backlash, including from the Department of Homeland Security.
This controversy unfolded as a decorated Army veteran was killed in a dispute over a parking space at a Walmart. The confrontation was reportedly captured on cell phone video.
The governor's office has not immediately responded to requests for comment regarding the pardon or the circumstances surrounding the veteran's death.
