Bondi Directs DOJ to Challenge Biden’s Death Row Commutations

Former President Joe Biden’s decision to commute the sentences of 37 federal death row inmates in the final days of his administration has sparked immediate pushback from U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, who is now seeking ways to reverse those commutations.

In a letter to Department of Justice employees, Bondi criticized Biden’s actions, stating that they “undermine our justice system and subvert the rule of law.” She argued that the commutations stripped victims’ families of the justice they had fought for and directed the DOJ to take steps to correct the decision.

Bondi’s letter outlined three key actions. First, she ordered the DOJ to explore public forums where victims’ families could express their personal reactions to the commutations, saying it was a necessary step toward rebuilding trust and accountability. Second, she instructed U.S. attorneys’ offices to pursue legal avenues that could allow states to seek the death penalty under state law rather than federal law.

This would be done only where legally feasible and after consulting with the victims’ families. Third, she directed the Federal Bureau of Prisons to ensure that the 37 commuted inmates face conditions of confinement reflecting the severity of their crimes and security risks.
