The Justice Department has approved firing squads for federal executions, marking a first in their protocols. This move comes as they aim to strengthen the death penalty, with only three inmates left on federal death row following President Bidens commutations. The department is also reinstating single-drug lethal injections using pentobarbital, a method previously used in thirteen executions under the Trump administration. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche criticized the prior administration for avoiding the death penalty in cases involving terrorists, child killers, and cop murderers. Five states currently allow firing squads, and the federal government is pursuing death penalties for at least forty-four more defendants. The three inmates on federal death row are Dylann Roof, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, and Robert Bowers.
