This is from CT where pardons are issued by a board and not the Governor, same as in Georgia but apparently ICE recognizes those pardons.
“I actually reached out to some of my colleagues that practice in Georgia and they’ve indicated that indeed ICE does honor those pardons,” she said. “The only difference that I can see as someone who is not at the agency, is that one state has policies that are arguably very favorable to ICE’s position, whereas the other state does not.”
Now I'm sure all those "small gov't" & "states rights" conservatives will be all over this story and objecting to what ICE is doing, right? Maybe tomorrow night's lead for Hannity?
