Federal Judge Blocks Deportation of 64-Year-Old Indian Permanent Resident After Murder Conviction Overturned
A federal immigration judge in Pennsylvania has blocked the deportation of a 64-year-old Indian permanent resident, Subramanyam Vedam, whose murder conviction from 1980 was recently overturned after four decades in prison. Vedam, who grew up in State College and was days away from becoming a U.S. citizen before his arrest, has consistently maintained his innocence. The ruling came after a tense four-hour hearing where Judge Adam Panopoulos praised Vedams rehabilitation, citing his work teaching inmates to read and strong family ties. Despite the murder charge being dropped, the federal government still plans to deport Vedam over old drug charges. Homeland Security has 30 days to appeal, but Vedams lawyer is pushing for bond so he can live with family in California or pursue a doctoral program at Oregon State.
