US courts halt deportation of Indian-origin man wrongfully jailed for 43 years

Two US courts have intervened to stop the deportation of Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam, whose wrongful conviction for murder was overturned earlier this year after more than 43 years in prison. An immigration judge has issued a stay on Vedam’s deportation until the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) decides whether to review his case, a process that could take several months.
