AG Pam Bondi ends the moratorium on federal executions and orders that federal prosecutors at the Department of Justice, including U.S. attorney’s offices, seek the death penalty when appropriate – specifically with a focus on violent drug trafficking crimes. 

• Bondi also ordered that the Justice Department "re-evaluate instances of the prior administration electing not to seek the death penalty." 
Bondi also is expected to rescind any DOJ policies that are "not sufficiently in line with President Trump’s death penalty executive order." 

• The move represents a major reversal from the Justice Department’s view of the death penalty under the Biden administration. In 2021, Biden allowed the DOJ to issue a moratorium on federal executions.
