And I may add, the Board of Pardon consisting of myself as Governor of Minnesota, Chief justice of Minnesota Supreme Court Hudson, and joining us online is Attorney General Keith Ellison, who is with us online. Good morning to you, Attorney General. On Thursday, May 14, we received notice that one applicant, Jai Bang, was taken into ICE custody and is scheduled to be deported from the United States before the next Board of Pardons meeting. To preserve and assert Minnesota's sovereign state interest in enforcing our own criminal laws and the constitutional rights through the clemency process, I've called this meeting to consider the application.
