In the final minutes of his presidency, President Joe Biden granted clemency to Leonard Peltier, a Native American rights activist. Peltier, who has been imprisoned for nearly 50 years, was convicted in the 1975 killings of two FBI agents during a confrontation at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Biden's decision allows Peltier to transition to home confinement, as stated in an official announcement. This significant action reflects Biden's commitment to addressing long-standing issues related to Indigenous rights and justice.
