Trump Signs Sweeping Order Directing Justice Department to Ensure States Have Lethal Injection Drugs for Executions
Jan 21, 2025, 03:14 AM
President Donald Trump has signed a sweeping executive order on the death penalty, directing the Attorney General to take all necessary and lawful actions to ensure that states have sufficient lethal injection drugs to carry out executions. The order was signed shortly after Trump's return to the White House and aims to compel the Justice Department to assist states in maintaining their supply of lethal injection drugs. This move comes after a moratorium on federal executions was in place since 2021, with only three defendants remaining on federal death row following President Joe Biden's conversion of 37 death sentences to life imprisonment. During Trump's first term, his administration carried out 13 federal executions, more than under any president in modern history.
