Courts order ICE not to deport man who spent 43 years in prison before murder case overturned

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Two separate courts have ordered immigration officials not to deport a Pennsylvania man who spent four decades in prison before his murder conviction was overturned.

Subramanyam Vedam, 64, is currently detained at a short-term holding center in Alexandria, Louisiana , that’s equipped with an airstrip for deportations. Vedam, known as “Subu,” was transferred there from central Pennsylvania last week, relatives said.
