"The prior administration failed in its duty to protect the American people by refusing to pursue and carry out the ultimate punishment against the most dangerous criminals, including terrorists, child murderers, and cop killers."
"Under President Trump's leadership, the Department of Justice is once again enforcing the law and standing with victims."
"The federal government has not previously included firing squad as a method of execution in its protocols, according to the Death Penalty Information Center."
The Justice Department is adopting firing squads as a method of execution and reauthorizing pentobarbital for lethal injections. This decision comes as part of a broader initiative to increase federal executions after a moratorium under the Biden administration. Currently, only three defendants remain on federal death row, while the Trump administration has authorized seeking death sentences for 44 defendants. The previous administration's approach to capital punishment is criticized for failing to protect the public from dangerous criminals.
