Trump administration carries out 13th, final federal execution

Al Jazeera  

Number of federal death sentences carried out under Trump since 2020 is more than the previous 56 years combined. The US government carried out the 13th and final federal execution under President Donald Trump’s administration early on Saturday just days before President-elect Joe Biden takes office with a promise to end the death penalty. Execution during transition Not since the waning days of Grover Cleveland’s presidency in the late 1800s has the US government executed federal inmates during a presidential transition, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. In a statement after the execution, Higgs’s lawyer, Shawn Nolan, said his client spent decades on death row helping other inmates and “working tirelessly to fight his unjust convictions”. “The government completed its unprecedented slaughter of 13 human beings tonight by killing Dustin Higgs, a Black man who never killed anyone, on Martin Luther King’s birthday,” Nolan said.
