Before leaving office, President Biden commuted the sentences of several death row inmates, sparking criticism. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi is now pushing to reverse these commutations, arguing they undermine justice. Bondi plans to pursue the death penalty where possible for those affected and ensure proper security for these prisoners.
Biden’s commutation of 37 federal death row inmates to life sentences was part of his broader criminal justice reform. However, three mass murderers were left on death row.
Bondi has also sued New York over its sanctuary laws, arguing they violate federal law by protecting undocumented immigrants and making it difficult for law enforcement to verify their identities.
