Section 25: Miscellaneous Subject: January 6th pardons Msg# 1219337

On December 23, 2024, Biden commuted the sentences of 37 of 40 federal death row inmates to life in prison without possibility of parole. [He did not pardon or release them.] The three remaining who were not commuted were all either convicted of terrorism or hate-motivated mass murders: Robert Bowers, the perpetrator in the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting; Dylann Roof, who committed the 2015 Charleston church shooting; and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who carried out the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing.
On January 20, 2025, Trump pardoned and released 1500+ individuals charged with violence against police officers on January 6, 2021. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: President Trump's near-total pardon of Jan. 6 rioters was denounced by the Fraternal Order of Police, the largest police union in the U.S., and the International Association of Chiefs of Police on Tuesday. The big picture: The groups said they're deeply discouraged by pardons and commutations made by both the Biden and Trump administrations of individuals convicted of killing or assaulting law enforcement officers. |
