President Trump has announced plans to reinstate federal executions and pursue death sentences aggressively for capital crimes, particularly concerning undocumented immigrants. His executive order was signed on the first day of his term, directly opposing recent moves by former President Biden, who commuted the sentences of 37 death row inmates. The new order mandates the U.S. Attorney General to seek the death penalty in severe cases, especially when law enforcement is targeted and for crimes committed by immigrants. This marks a significant shift in federal policy on capital punishment, aiming to challenge existing legal limitations.
Trump's aggressive reinstatement of federal executions is framed as a response to the Biden administration's previous efforts to limit the death penalty, emphasizing strict measures against undocumented immigrants.
The new directive calls for the U.S. Attorney General to pursue the death penalty more widely, targeting not only murder cases but expanding it to include severe crimes involving undocumented immigrants.
