Hey there! Let’s chat about something important happening in the United States. You might have heard about the death penalty, which is when someone is sentenced to death for serious crimes. It’s a big topic that’s been discussed a lot.
President Joe Biden has said that he wants to end the death penalty at the federal level. This means he doesn’t want people to be executed by the federal government anymore. As of my last update in September 2021, he hasn’t commuted (which means to reduce or change) the sentences of federal inmates on death row. However, he did pause all federal executions. That means while he’s president, the federal government won’t carry out death sentences.
It’s possible that there have been new developments since then! News changes all the time. To find the latest information, you can check trustworthy news websites or ask a grown-up to help you look it up.
Remember, it’s always good to stay informed about what’s happening in the world around us! 🌍
