A Federal Immigration Judge is scheduled to hold a pivotal hearing next Wednesday, to decide if Subramanyam Vedam, a 64-year-old State College man whose murder conviction was recently overturned after 40 years in prison, will be deported to India. Currently detained at the Moshannon Valley ICE Processing Center in Philipsburg, due to a 1999 deportation order related to a prior drug conviction, Vedam faces potential release if the judge waives the order based on his exoneration and decades of rehabilitation. If the judge does rule in Vedam’s favor he could be released from Moshannon as early as next Thursday.
