Newsom Pardons Illegal Alien Convicted of Attempted Murder
February 23, 2026·1 day ago·via New York Post
California Governor Gavin Newsom issues a pardon to Somboon Phaymany, a Cambodian citizen convicted in 1997 on 10 counts of premeditated attempted murder from a gang-related drive-by shooting. Phaymany lost his green card after the conviction, faced deportation proceedings, and received a final removal order from a judge, but Newsom's action erases the qualifying convictions, shielding him from ICE deportation.
