Federal immigration authorities said on Oct. 6 they plan to deport Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam, a 64-year-old Indian-origin man who won his release last week after more than 40 years in prison for a murder he was later cleared of, the State College news website reported.

Vedam was taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Oct. 3 afternoon immediately after being released from Huntingdon State Prison. The State College reported that the arrest followed a detainer issued in 1988, officials confirmed.
