President-elect Trump Pledges Death Penalty for Violent Offenders After Biden Commutes Sentences of 37 Killers
Dec 24, 2024, 10:50 PM
President-elect Donald Trump criticized President Joe Biden's decision to commute the death sentences of 37 federal death row inmates, whom he referred to as '37 of the worst killers in our Country.' Vowing to reinstate federal executions once he takes office in January, Trump pledged to direct the Department of Justice to 'vigorously pursue the death penalty' to protect American families and children from violent rapists, murderers, and monsters. He stated that 'anyone caught trafficking minors will get the death penalty immediately' and declared, 'We will be a Nation of Law and Order again!' Biden had commuted the sentences of nearly all federal death row inmates, changing their sentences to life imprisonment without parole.
