A group of Democratic members of Congress is urging President Joe Biden to commute the sentences of dozens of federal death row inmates.
The group is filled with 35 members of legislators, which includes Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez. They called on Biden Friday to take “swift, decisive action” to commute the death sentences of 49 prisoners.
During former President Trump’s tenure, 13 prisoners were put to death, including three in his final days in office. When former President Obama was in office, he haunted federal executions in 2015, but Trump revived them in 2019. The goal of the Democratic congress members is to end federal execution for good.
The Democrats also claimed in their letter to Biden that President Trump left a legacy of “carnage and unrestrained violence.” The group called for reforms in the criminal justice system that seeks to “rehabilitate and restore” rather than “penalize and execute.”
President Biden has not responded to the request of the congressmen.
