據鳳凰衛視報道,美國總統特朗普於9月25日簽署一項總統備忘錄,批準在華盛頓執行死刑。President Donald Trump on Thursday signed a presidential memorandum seeking to reinstate the death penalty in Washington, DC, as Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the Justice Department will be seeking capital punishment across the country. https://t.co/ioQsN4lnVT

他還開玩笑稱,華盛頓是“死刑首都”。特朗普強調,華盛頓已經連續四周沒有出現死亡案件,“從全美最危險的城市變成最安全的城市”。
美國司法部長邦迪表示,她希望死刑可以推行至全國範圍。邦迪還補充說,美國前總統拜登赦免的犯人已被轉移至最高安全級別監獄,他們會“像在死囚牢房裏一樣度過餘生”。His memo seeks to bring back a punishment form not used in the nation's capital in decades, pushing U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi and U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro to seek the sentencing in cases deemed appropriate under federal law. https://t.co/gAj083UlJ4

據報,恢複死刑的措施由美國國會直接管轄的哥倫比亞特區提出,此舉進一步加強了特朗普政府對華盛頓的管控。
