| Gavin Newsom pardons criminal illegal migrant convicted for attempted murder: DHS | |
| 2026-02-24 | |
| [NY Post] California Governor Gavin Newsom pardoned a convicted attempted murderer who was an undocumented illegal immigrant, opening the possibility for him staying in the country, according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Somboon Phaymany was convicted of numerous charges, including attempted murder, assault with a semi-automatic firearm, assault with a firearm, and conspiracy to commit assault with a firearm after a judge sentenced him in 1997 to 14 years to life. In December 2025, Newsom pardoned him for transforming his life and providing "evidence that he is living an upright life and has demonstrated his fitness for restoration of civic rights and responsibilities." DHS said the pardon allows Phaymany to "re-open immigration proceedings rather than be removed from the U.S. and will be able to remain in California communities." "Governor Newsom pardoning an illegal alien convicted of attempted murder, so he can remain in our country is absolute INSANITY," said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. "These are the criminal illegal aliens he and his sanctuary politicians are protecting. He is putting the lives of all Americans at risk."
