A federal judge in Pennsylvania has ruled that a 64-year-old Indian immigrant, Subramanyam Vedam, who spent 40 years in prison for a murder conviction thats now been thrown out, is no threat and fully rehabilitated. Vedam, a legal permanent resident who came to the US as a baby, was arrested by ICE right before his release last year. The judge highlighted his work teaching literacy to inmates and his family bonds, saying hes grown into someone who enriches lives through study. However, DHS lawyers argue that one vacated murder rap doesnt change immigration rules and are pushing for his deportation to India. Homeland Security has 30 days to appeal, while Vedams team is pushing for bond so he can stay with family in California or jump into a doctoral program at Oregon State.
