Trump to Pursue Death Penalty for Violent Rapists and Murderers Upon Inauguration on January 20 After Biden Commutes Sentences
Dec 24, 2024, 03:24 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has announced that upon his inauguration on January 20, he will instruct the Justice Department to vigorously pursue the death penalty for violent offenders, specifically targeting rapists, murderers, and other violent criminals. This declaration aims to enhance protection for American families and children. Trump's announcement follows President Biden's recent decision to commute the sentences of 37 inmates on federal death row, which included murderers and child rapists. Trump's commitment to a strict law enforcement approach underscores his intention to restore what he describes as a 'Nation of Law and Order.'
