President Joe Biden granted clemency to nearly 1,500 people, but he’s facing backlash because one of them is a Chinese national who’s also a convicted pedophile. The man’s name is Shanlin Jin and he plead guilty to some very sickening crimes according to Trending Politics. The breaking news report said:
The case in question involves Shanlin Jin, a Chinese national who pleaded guilty to child pornography charges in 2022. Jin was sentenced to 97 months in prison after authorities discovered an extensive collection of graphic material, including 47,000 images and videos. According to Plano police, investigators stopped reviewing Jin’s computer after identifying 1,338 explicit files, some depicting infants subjected to sexual violence.
The executive grant of clemency, issued on November 22, reduces Jin’s prison term to time served, provided he agrees to strict conditions, including immediate deportation and a permanent ban from re-entering the United States. The clemency order further prohibits Jin from profiting financially from any media or publication related to his conviction. The official clemency document, signed by Biden, emphasizes the national interest in Jin’s immediate removal from the country while maintaining his supervised release conditions. It also stipulates that Jin forfeits any legal claims or property connected to his conviction.
The announcement on the White House website said the following (and more):
Today, President Biden announced that he is granting clemency to nearly 1,500 Americans – the most ever in a single day – who have shown successful rehabilitation and a strong commitment to making their communities safer. The President is commuting the sentences of close to 1,500 individuals who were placed on home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic and who have successfully reintegrated into their families and communities. He is also pardoning 39 individuals who were convicted of non-violent crimes. These actions represent the largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history.
Together, these actions build on the President’s record of criminal justice reform to help reunite families, strengthen communities, and reintegrate individuals back into society. The President has issued more sentence commutations at this point in his presidency than any of his recent predecessors at the same point in their first terms. He is also the first President ever to issue categorical pardons to individuals convicted of simple use and possession of marijuana, and to former LGBTQI+ service members convicted of private conduct because of their sexual orientation. In the coming weeks, the President will take additional steps to provide meaningful second chances and continue to review additional pardons and commutations.
