President-elect Donald Trump announced that upon his inauguration, he will direct the Justice Department to vigorously pursue the death penalty for violent offenders, including rapists and murderers. "We will be a Nation of Law and Order again," Trump declared. This move aims to protect American families and children from what he described as "violent rapists, murderers, and monsters."
