In a recent post on Truth Social, US President-elect Donald Trump declared his intention to seek death penalties for brutal murderers and rapists in order to protect American families from such criminals.
Trump wrote that immediately after his inauguration, he will instruct the Department of Justice to aggressively pursue death sentences to safeguard American families from vicious rapists, killers, and monsters to make the United States again "a country of law and order."
<p>This announcement follows reports that President Joe Biden has commuted the death sentences of 37 out of 40 individuals awaiting execution to life imprisonment without the possibility of release. In January, Biden also expressed support for a moratorium on federal executions.
