Washington, DC…Today, President Biden announced that he is commuting the sentences of 37 individuals on federal death row. Those individuals will have their sentences reclassified from execution to life without the possibility of parole.
President Biden has dedicated his career to reducing violent crime and ensuring a fair and effective justice system. He believes that America must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level, except in cases of terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder – which is why today’s actions apply to all but those cases. When President Biden came into office, his Administration imposed a moratorium on federal executions, and his actions today will prevent the next Administration from carrying out the execution sentences that would not be handed down under current policy and practice.
This historic clemency action builds on the President’s record of criminal justice reform. The President has issued more commutations at this point in his presidency than any of his recent predecessors at the same point in their first terms. Earlier this month, the President announced clemency for approximately 1,500 Americans – the most ever in a single day – who have shown successful rehabilitation and a commitment to making communities safer. This included sentence commutations for nearly 1,500 individuals who were placed on home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic and who have successfully reintegrated into their families and communities, as well as 39 pardons for individuals who were convicted of non-violent crimes. President Biden is also the first President ever to issue categorical pardons to individuals convicted of simple use and possession of marijuana, and to former LGBTQI+ service members convicted of private conduct because of their sexual orientation.
The President’s criminal justice record has transformed individual lives and positively impacted communities, especially historically marginalized communities. In the coming weeks, the President will take additional steps to provide meaningful second chances and continue to review additional pardons and commutations.

The old fuker awake…,,,
Only 37? Those must be the closest relatives of his senior advisors. Just wondering why he didn’t do it for Kamala’s staff? Oh yeah, she knifed him in the back with Pelosi’s blessing.
Interesting, this is about the Left, AKA, the Pedophile Party.

Mayorkas says preventing trafficking of illegal migrant children does not come under the jurisdiction of DHS
Speaking with Face the Nation on Sunday, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said that while his department has received reports of illegal immigrant children being trafficked, “that is outside the responsibility of the Department of Homeland Security.”
Face the Nation’s Margaret Brennan asked whether it was true that children coming into the US were being exploited and trafficked, noting the tens of thousands of children who the government has lost contact with, to which Mayorkas replied, “we certainly have received reports of children being trafficked, even those as to whom we know where they are.”
“That is outside the responsibility of the Department of Homeland Security. What we do is we turn children over within 72 hours as the law requires to the Department of Health and Human services, and then HHS places those children.”
Mayorkas said that “of course, we investigate cases of trafficking, but there are children who are reunited with a parent here in the United States or a legal guardian and they move and sometimes the government loses track, individuals do not comply with the reporting obligations or otherwise. I think it is inaccurate to say that all of them are being trafficked or victimized.”
He said that losing track of an individual is “not necessarily specific to this administration” and that this “has been a longstanding challenge in the immigration system.”
This comes as New York City Mayor Eric Adams has sat down with incoming Trump border czar Tom Homan, during which meeting Adams was told that there are 500,000 children that “we can’t find. We can’t find them. We don’t know if they’re doing child labor. We don’t know if they’re doing sex crimes. We don’t know if they’ve been exploited. 500,000 children.”
