CAIR-MN: Rumored Chauvin pardon called ‘outrageous’ – Spokesman-Recorder
Jaylani Hussein, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MN) and an advocate working with immigrant and Black communities, echoed the severity of the message such a pardon would send.
“It sends a signal not just to Minnesotans or Americans — it sends it to the entire global community — that police brutality is acceptable,” Hussein said. “Even if the federal administration does that, the state will hold the line. Chauvin will still serve his state sentence, which I believe will be about 30-plus years.”
Hussein noted the timing of the pardon rumors, close to the fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s death, “shows how deeply polarized our nation is. There will be those who celebrate the pardoning of a police officer who represents the worst form of policing in this country. But I’m hopeful the overwhelming majority of Americans would not support pardoning Derek Chauvin.”
