Before leaving office, former President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of several killers on death row.
These decisions have now been overturned by U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who wants state officials to go after the death penalty for the prisoners.
Bondi told people who work at the Department of Justice (DOJ) about the commutes in a letter on Wednesday. In the letter, she said that Biden’s choice to let the people get out of their sentences “undermine[d] our justice system and subvert[ed] the rule of law.”
