An immigration judge in the United States ruled on Thursday, April 2, 2026, that Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam, an Indian-origin legal permanent resident, can remain in the country, offering relief after he faced deportation despite a decades-old murder conviction being overturned. The decision followed a four-hour hearing held on Wednesday, April 1, 2026. Vedam participated remotely from the Moshannon Valley Processing Center in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania, where he remains in custody.
