Throughout his campaign, President-elect Donald Trump signaled he would resume federal executions if he won and make more people eligible for capital punishment, including child rapists, migrants who kill U.S. citizens and law enforcement officers, and those convicted of drug and human trafficking.In a monumental move, President Joe Biden announced Monday that he is commuting the death sentences of 37 out of 40 people on federal death row.

Their death sentences will be reduced to life without the possibility of parole, sparing each of the 37 men from the highly controversial practice of the death penalty. Meanwhile, three other men — Robert Bowers, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev and Dylann Roof — who were all convicted of charges related to terrorism or mass murder, will remain on federal death row.
