Gubernatorial Pardon Ends Deportation Threat For Immigrant
"Gov. David A. Paterson announced on Saturday that he had pardoned a man whose rise from poverty and street crime in Chinatown to success as an information technology executive was about to end in deportation. The case of the man, Qing Hong Wu, who immigrated to the United States legally as a child, had drawn support from many, including the judge who sentenced him to a reformatory in 1996 and promised to stand by him if he redeemed himself."
