New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo has granted clemency to 29 individuals – many of whom faced the risk of deportation.
The Democratic governor pardoned 22 people and commuted the sentences of seven others on Monday, the final day of the year.
Many of those receiving a pardon were facing the possibility of deportation because of their criminal record. Cuomo says New York must stand up for its immigrant families as Republican President Donald Trump works to keep immigrants from coming to the U.S.
Cuomo’s office says all of those receiving pardons have demonstrated their rehabilitation and have gone without committing any additional crimes. Officials say the seven individuals set to be released from prison have all turned their lives around by pursuing an education and working to help fellow inmates.

we’ll see how long they will last to be clean…
But he will make sure not to pardon those who don’t comply with his ruling of calling a male a female and vice versa.
A class A piece of charah!
Sick governor. Will he take responsibility for them, that they won’t kill , rape ,mug, any body else??
What a liberal piece of garbage we have in office.
it is obvious low life Cuomo is following orders from his handlers (Soros and Co) to create a chaos to US by releasing illegal criminals and at the same time disarming low abating citizens.
The blood is on this demonic democrat’s hands. Faker and phony, Cuomo is a bunch of baloney.
This AP writer is confusing and baffling. Maybe it need be re-written.
“The Democratic governor pardoned 22 people and commuted the sentences of seven others on Monday. Many of those receiving a pardon were facing the possibility of deportation because of their criminal record. [Since they’re currently in jail.] Cuomo’s office [overruled the judges and judicial system and] says all of those receiving pardons have demonstrated their rehabilitation and have gone without committing any additional crimes. [Since they’re currently in jail].”
There, now it makes a ton more sense!
