President Biden announced a massive clemency decision on Friday, commuting the sentences of nearly 2,500 individuals in his final days in office. This unprecedented move puts him thousands of cases ahead of all other presidents who have issued acts of clemency during their terms.
Biden’s decision brings his total number of individual pardons and commutations to a staggering record-breaking figure. In his statement, he emphasized that he is “proud” of this achievement and will continue to review additional requests for clemency ahead of his final full day in office on January 19th.
The President’s actions have sparked controversy among both political parties, with some criticizing the release of convicted felons back into society. The decision has also raised concerns about the potential impact it may have on public safety and crime rates.
Despite these criticisms, Biden remains committed to his stance on clemency, stating that he is committed to “reviewing additional commutations and pardons” in the coming days.
