The US Department of Justice has officially announced the lifting of restrictions on the death penalty at the federal level.
It is reported that the moratorium introduced during Joe Biden's term has been terminated, and there are now plans to use this form of punishment more actively for the most serious crimes.
According to the new regulations, the previously used lethal injection protocol will be reintroduced. At the same time, execution by firing squad is being included as an additional method of punishment.
Department of Justice representatives emphasized that the obligation to carry out death sentences issued within the framework of the law has been restored.
It will now be possible to carry out execution processes for convicts who have exhausted all stages of appeal and complaint.
Furthermore, it is stated that internal procedures will be improved to accelerate the review of cases.
For reference, in January 2025, Donald Trump signed a decree on the restoration of the death penalty at the federal level.
