美国司法部周五宣布，将重新启用注射死刑和行刑队枪决，作为特朗普政府“强化”联邦死刑制度努力的一部分。
司法部在一份新闻稿中表示：“采取的行动包括重新采用特朗普首届政府期间使用的注射死刑流程，将该流程扩展至包括行刑队枪决在内的额外处决方式，并简化内部程序以加快死刑案件的审理进度。”
该部门进一步表示，这些措施将“对威慑最野蛮的罪行、为受害者伸张正义，并为幸存的亲属带来姗姗来迟的了结至关重要”。
特朗普总统在其第二届政府的首日签署了一项行政命令，指示对“所有罪行严重程度足以适用死刑”的案件判处死刑，并要求司法部长在涉及杀害执法人员以及美国境内非法移民犯下的死罪案件中寻求死刑判决。
在其首届任期内，特朗普重启了中断近20年的联邦处决程序。2021年，乔·拜登总统颁布了死刑执行暂停令，以便对相关政策和程序进行审查。
在其任期结束时，拜登为40名面临联邦死刑判决的囚犯中的37人提供了宽大处理，将他们的刑期减为终身监禁且不得假释。
未获得宽大处理的三名囚犯分别是2018年匹兹堡生命之树犹太会堂枪击案的罪犯、2015年查尔斯顿伊曼纽尔母亲教堂大规模枪击案的枪手，以及2013年波士顿马拉松爆炸案的在逃嫌犯。
2025年2月，时任司法部长帕姆·邦迪解除了拜登政府实施的联邦死刑暂停令，并命令联邦检察官在适当案件中寻求死刑判决。
她指示联邦检察官在对路易吉·曼焦内的 ongoing 刑事审判中寻求死刑判决。曼焦内被指控于2024年杀害联合健康集团首席执行官布莱恩·汤普森。今年1月，纽约一名联邦法官驳回了原本可使曼焦内符合死刑资格的联邦枪支指控。
在邦迪被解职、托德·布兰奇从司法部第二号职位升任代理司法部长后不久，布兰奇授权加州联邦首席检察官对三名被控杀害配合当局作证的受害者的疑似MS-13团伙成员寻求死刑判决。
布兰奇在一份声明中表示：“上一届政府拒绝针对包括恐怖分子、杀害儿童的凶手和杀害警察的凶手在内的最危险罪犯追究并执行终极惩罚，未能履行保护美国人民的职责。”
司法部还发布了一份报告，批评拜登政府的司法部“对公众造成了难以估量的伤害”，因其采取了“削弱、拖延和废除死刑”的步骤。该报告称，在现任司法部看来，使用戊巴比妥——注射死刑所用的药物——并不违反第八修正案。
DOJ reinstates firing squads, pentobarbital for federal executions

The Justice Department announced on Friday that it would reimplement lethal injection and firing squads as part of the Trump administration’s efforts to “strengthen” the federal death penalty.
“Among the actions taken are readopting the lethal injection protocol utilized during the first Trump Administration, expanding the protocol to include additional manners of execution such as the firing squad, and streamlining internal processes to expedite death penalty cases,” the Justice Department said in a press release.
The department went on to say these measures would be “critical to deterring the most barbaric crimes, delivering justice for victims, and providing long-overdue closure to surviving loved ones.”
President Trump, on the first day of his second administration, signed an executive order directing the death penalty to be pursued “for all crimes of a severity demanding its use,” and demanded the attorney general seek the death penalty in cases involving the murder of a law enforcement officer and capital crimes committed by illegal immigrants present in the U.S.
During his first term, Mr. Trump restarted federal executions after nearly a 20-year pause. In 2021, President Joe Biden instituted a moratorium on executions so it could review policies and procedures.
At the end of his term, Biden granted clemency to 37 of the 40 federal inmates facing death sentences, commuting their sentences to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The three inmates who didn’t receive clemency were the man convicted in the 2018 Tree of Life Synagogue shooting, the gunman who carried out a mass shooting in 2015 at Mother Emanuel Church in Charleston, and the surviving 2013 Boston Marathon bomber.
In February 2025, then-Attorney General Pam Bondi lifted the federal moratorium on the death penalty that had been implemented by the Biden administration and ordered federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in appropriate cases.
She instructed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in the ongoing criminal trial of Luigi Mangione, who is accused of killing the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson, in 2024. In January, a federal judge in New York dismissed the federal firearms charges that would have made Mangione eligible for the death penalty.
Soon after Todd Blanche was elevated from the No. 2 job at DOJ to acting attorney general after Bondi’s ouster, he authorized the top federal prosecutor in California to seek the death penalty for three alleged MS-13 members charged with killing a victim who was cooperating with authorities.
“The prior administration failed in its duty to protect the American people by refusing to pursue and carry out the ultimate punishment against the most dangerous criminals, including terrorists, child murderers, and cop killers,” Blanche said in a statement. “
The department also published a report criticizing the Biden Justice Department for causing “untold harm to the public,” for its steps to “weaken, delay and dismantle the death penalty.” The report said that in the current Justice Department’s view, the use of pentobarbital, the drug used for executions by injection, is not a violation of the Eighth Amendment.”
