Trump's executive order resumes executions, after Biden dialed them back
January 21, 20258:43 PM ET
President Trump said he intends to resume executions of federal death row prisoners and forcefully pursue new death sentences in future cases, particularly against migrants in the U.S. without legal status who commit capital crimes.
The renewed use of the death penalty, announced by executive order signed on his first day in office, comes just after former President Biden and his Department of Justice moved to restrict the federal death penalty. In the final weeks of his presidency, Biden commuted the death sentences of 37 of the 40 prisoners on death row.
Trump's order calls on the U.S. Attorney General to seek the death penalty in future cases “for all crimes of a severity demanding its use.” In two circumstances – when law-enforcement officers are the victims of murder and when capital defendants are immigrants in the country without legal status – the government will seek the death penalty “regardless of other factors.”

The Department of Justice will also seek to overrule Supreme Court precedents that limit the state and federal authority to carry out executions, the order states. It suggests that Trump disapproved of Biden's commutations.
“These efforts to subvert and undermine capital punishment defy the laws of our nation, make a mockery of justice, and insult the victims of these horrible crimes,” the order states. Trump's administration will try to make sure the 37 death row prisoners whose sentences were commuted will be imprisoned under harsh conditions “consistent with the monstrosity of their crimes,” the order clarifies.
