United States President Donald Trump signed an executive order reinstating the federal death penalty, repealing Joe Biden's 2021 law. Trump also ordered the attorney general to seek the death penalty "regardless of other factors" when a case involves the murder of an agent or other capital crimes committed by aliens illegally present in the country, as well as to "take all necessary and lawful actions" to ensure that states have enough lethal injection drugs.
According to data from American media, only three defendants remain on death row after Biden commuted 37 death sentences to life imprisonment, writes A2.
Meanwhile, shortly after his inauguration, Trump began firing Biden administration employees. Four high-ranking employees have been fired and "more than a thousand" others are being laid off, Trump said on the social media platform Truth Social.
The head of the US Coast Guard, Linda Fagan, was also fired. Trump's stated goal is to reduce the size of government and eliminate resistance to his policies.
Among those fired was former chief of staff and outspoken Trump critic Mark Milley, who had a post on the government's Infrastructure Council.
As a result, American states have launched their first legal action against the Trump administration in an attempt to block the executive order to lift the ban on families without US citizenship who give birth to a child in the US. In the lawsuit, the Democratic states claim that the repeal of the law violates the Constitution and immigration laws.
Trump repealed over 70 of Joe Biden's decisions, while formalizing the pardon of nearly 1,500 people who were involved in the January 6, 2021 riots on Capitol Hill.
The Diocese of Washington asked Trump to show mercy to LGBT people, but Trump did not appear happy during the comments and dismissed them when asked for a reaction. (A2 Televizion)
