Murder Conviction Overturned, Man Fights Deportation
3 Apr
Summary
- Man's murder conviction was overturned after serving over 40 years.
- He was detained by ICE for deportation proceedings upon release.
- An immigration judge ruled he can remain in the US on Thursday.

Subramanyam Vedam, who had been incarcerated for over 40 years, was recently granted an overturned murder conviction. Upon his impending release from prison, he was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and entered into deportation proceedings.
On Thursday, an immigration judge delivered a ruling that allows Vedam to remain in the United States. This decision offers a reprieve, though his immediate release is contingent upon the filing of a bond request. The Department of Homeland Security retains the option to appeal the judge's ruling until May 4.
