Nov 9, 2024, 04:27 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to expand the federal death penalty, targeting human traffickers, child rapists, and illegal immigrants who kill U.S. citizens. Throughout his campaign, Trump indicated a desire to resume federal executions, a stance that has raised concerns among anti-death penalty groups and criminal justice reform advocates.
