The Pentagon is preparing to ask President Donald Trump to authorize the execution of Nidal Hasan, the former Army major convicted of carrying out the 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood in Texas, a senior Department of Defense official told the Daily Caller News Foundation.If approved, it would be the first U.S. military execution in more than six decades. Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist, killed 13 people and wounded 32 others in the attack.Hasan entered Fort Hoods Soldier Readiness Center armed with a semi-automatic pistol and opened fire on fellow service members preparing for deployment.COURT THROWS OUT PLEA DEAL FOR 9/11 MASTERMIND KHALID SHEIKH MOHAMMED, TWO OTHER TERRORISTSDuring his subsequent trial, Hasan admitted to the shooting and claimed it was necessary to protect the "Islamic Empire" from American forces.The Pentagon had categorized the massacre as an act of "workplace violence," a decision that drew sharp criticism from lawmakers, victims families, and national security experts. They argued it obscured the ideological and terrorist motivations behind the attack.In 2013, a military jury convicted Hasan and sentenced him to death.JUSTICE DEPARTMENT URGED TO SEEK DEATH PENALTY IN CAPITAL JEWISH MUSEUM MURDERSHe has been held on death row at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, ever since.After years of appeals, Hasan's final legal challenge was rejected in April 2025, clearing the way for execution."I am 100 percent committed to ensuring the death penalty is carried out for Nidal Hasan," Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth told Fox News Digital. "This savage terrorist deserves the harshest lawful punishment for his 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood. The victims and survivors deserve justice without delays."Hasan is one of just four prisoners currently facing the death penalty under military jurisdiction.RETIRED FBI AGENT WARNS OF 'ASSASSINATION CULTURE' AFTER LEARNING KIRK SUSPECT LIVED WITH TRANS PARTNERThe Army secretary has already recommended execution, and the Department of War is advancing the request.Hasan, born in Arlington, Virginia, in 1970 to Palestinian immigrant parents, served nearly 20 years in the Army before reportedly embracing radical Islamist beliefs.By the time he was stationed at Fort Hood in 2009, he had become outspoken in his opposition to U.S. military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan, justifying suicide bombings as legitimate acts of war.

Two weeks after Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was assassinated, spokesman Andrew Kolvet revealed who had jurisdiction to monitor the rooftop where the alleged killer fired the fatal shot.Tyler Robinson, 22, is accused of shooting Kirk from the roof of the Losee Center at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10, killing the 31-year-old father of two.Many questioned why Robinson was not spotted by Kirk's security team, who were feet away from him when he was assassinated.CHARLIE KIRK'S KILLING AT UTAH UNIVERSITY PROMPTS SCRUTINY OF SECURITY MEASURESOn an episode of "The Charlie Kirk Show" Wednesday afternoon, Kolvet said the Turning Point USA security team does not have the authority to police rooftops or surrounding areas during campus speaking events."In defense of our security team, people need to understand that they do not have jurisdiction on the rooftops or the surrounding area," Kolvet said. "Their only jurisdiction on a campus is Charlie's physical proximity, and they were coordinating with local PD and campus PD to make sure all of those venues [were secure]."Blake Neff, producer of "The Charlie Kirk Show," added Turning Point USA did not have counter snipers or Secret Service to monitor the area outside of Kirk's immediate vicinity.SCRUTINY INTENSIFIES OVER SECURITY LAPSES SURROUNDING THE CHARLIE KIRK SHOOTING"Many campus PDs do not have drone programs, which is a big problem," Kolvet said. "I'm actually working on that because it's something they should all have. It should be mandated by some sort of law. So anyway, just in quick defense of the security, they're only allowed to protect his immediate vicinity. They have to rely on PD to secure the larger perimeter."Drones have become an increasingly popular resource for police to monitor crowd movements, traffic flow, and potential security threats.They are cheaper and quicker to deploy than helicopters, and can transmit live video to command centers in real time.CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION: TIMELINE OF UTAH CAMPUS SHOOTING DETAILS ATTACK, MANHUNT FOR SUSPECTHowever, law enforcement still must follow Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, and may need special waivers to fly over large groups of people, or at specific locations.While Kirk supposedly did not raise any specific security concerns about the Sept. 10 speaking engagement at Utah Valley University, guest speaker Dr. James Orr said in the episode that Kirk acknowledged the "risk" of an upcoming trip to the University of Missouri on Sept. 29."We were putting plans in place for me to go with him to the University of Missouri," Orr said. "[Kirk] said, 'You know, that's going to be the tough one. That's where it's riskiest. That's the one that's going to be the most dangerous.' I said, Well, I hope you got a lot of good security. He said, 'Yeah, it's all sorted. Don't worry about it.'"

Former Vice President Kamala Harris offered up several criticisms of the Biden White Houses communications team in her new book, painting a picture of a staff that did little to defend her."They had a huge comms team; they had Karine Jean-Pierre briefing in the pressroom every day," Harris wrote in her book "107 Days", released on Tuesday and providing detailed insight into her ill-fated presidential run."But getting anything positive said about my work or any defense against untrue attacks was almost impossible."Harris added that the "presidents inner circle seemed fine with it" when "unfair or inaccurate" stories about Harris circulated and that it even "seemed as if they decided I should be knocked down a little more."OBAMA, PELOSI, OTHER TOP DEMS RESISTED INSTANT HARRIS ENDORSEMENT CITING NEED TO 'EARN IT,' 'HIKING' EXCUSEIn a chapter titled "July 24: 104 days til the election," Harris suggested that Bidens team was not only being unhelpful, but at times had worked against her in the past."This was total nonsense, but the White House seemed glad to let reporting about my gaffe overwhelm the significant thaw in foreign relations Id achieved," Harris wrote about the White House not pushing back against media reportsshe had "faked a french accent" in 2021."Worse, I often learned that the presidents staff was adding fuel to negative narratives that sprung up around me," Harris wrote.Harris took issue in the book with Republicans who "mischaracterized" her role as the "border czar" and lamented that "no one in the White House comms team helped me to effectively push back and explain what I had really been tasked to do" or to "highlight any of the progress I had achieved."KAMALA HARRIS SAYS SHE 'HAD NO IDEA' SHE 'PULLED THE PIN ON A HAND GRENADE' WITH 'THE VIEW' ANSWER ABOUT BIDENIn another part of the book, Harris wrote about how Biden began "taking on water" over the conflict between Hamas and Israel, saying that "when polls indicated that I was getting more popular, the people around him didnt like the contrast that was emerging."Harris also provided details about her struggles with the Biden campaign staff before and after she became the nominee, writing specifically about meetings the Biden-Harris team had during the campaign in a pavilion on the White House grounds."These political briefings often made no sense to me," Harris wrote. "Mike Donilon would filter the data from the polls and present the numbers in soothing terms: that the razor-thin, within-the-margin-of-error results were no cause for hair on fire; that really there was nothing to see here. Doug had wanted to stop sitting next to me because he got tired of me kicking him under the table when I asked a question and got a nonanswer.""My chief of staff, Lorraine Voles, turned to me as we left one of these meetings and said, If I ever organized that sort of dog-and-pony bullsh-- for you, youd have my head on a platter."Harriss husband, Doug Emhoff, was also quoted in the book with some strong words for the Biden team as Harris recounted an instance where his staff gauged the couple about their loyalty to Biden on July 4th, shortly before Biden dropped out of the race.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"They hide you away for four years, give you impossible, sh-- jobs, dont correct the record when those tasks are mischaracterized, never fight back when youre attacked, never praise your accomplishments, and now, finally, they want you out there on that balcony, standing right beside them," Emhoff is quoted as saying. "Now, finally, they know you are an asset, and they need you to reassure the American people. And still, they have to ask if were loyal?"Ultimately, Harris concluded that the Biden White House was mistakenly operating using "zero-sum" thinking."If shes shining, hes dimmed," Harris wrote. "None of them grasped that if I did well, he did well. That given the concerns about his age, my visible success as his vice president was vital. It would serve as a testament to his judgment in choosing me and reassurance that if something happened, the country was in good hands. My success was important for him. His team didnt get it."Fox News Digital reached out to Bidens office for comment.

At least eight high school volleyball teams in California have forfeited to a team with a well-known transgender athlete.The Jurupa Unified School District (JUSD) confirmed that Patriot High School has forfeited its Sept. 26 match to Jurupa Valley High School, which rosters trans athlete AB Hernandez. Both Patriot and Jurupa Valley are within the same school district, the Jurupa Unified School District (JUSD)."We can confirm the Patriot High School volleyball team will forfeit their September 26 match," JUSD said in a statement to Fox News Digital.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMPatriot's forfeit marked the first forfeit to Jurupa Valley by a school within its own district.Jurupa Valley saw three forfeits in one weekend at the Freeway Games tournament on Sept. 13, with Aquinas High School, Yucaipa High School and San Dimas High School refusing to play Jurupa Valley.Prior to that, Riverside Poly High School, Rim of The World High School, Orange Vista High School and AB Miller High School all forfeited to Jurupa Valley.Three of Hernandez's current and former volleyball teammates have filed a lawsuit against the Jurupa Unified School District (JUSD), the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) and the California Department of Education (CDE) over their experience sharing a team and locker room with the trans athlete.The two current teammates in the lawsuit, seniors Alyssa McPherson and Hadeel Hazameh, previously told Fox News Digital they were stepping away from the team as long as the trans athlete is participating. The third plaintiff is McPherson's older sister Madison, who graduated last year."Plaintiffs have been intimidated by an intentionally hostile environment created by Defendants wherein they were bullied by school officials to censor their objections to competing with, and against, a male and to sharing intimate and private spaces with a male," the lawsuit reads.The McPherson family, who identify as practicing Catholics, claimed to "believe that God created human beings as male and female and that gender is a fixed characteristic that cannot be changed. Their faith informs their understanding of human identity and shapes their views regarding the importance of recognizing and honoring the distinctives of male and female as created by God," per court documents.INSIDE GAVIN NEWSOM'S TRANSGENDER VOLLEYBALL CRISISMeanwhile, Hazameh and her family identify as practicing Muslims "whose religious obligations prevent [Hernandez] from exposing her hair or body to males, including by wearing a hijab. Guided by Islamic teachings, they believe that men and women have distinct biological differences, roles, and responsibilities, which should be respected and upheld," per court documents.The JUSD has directly encouraged critics to take up the issue with government officials and lawmakers, in a statement previously provided to Fox News Digital, but the school district has not commented on the lawsuit."School districts do not write laws for the state of California, nor do they have the power to ignore them or change them. However, as primarily state-funded agencies, they are required to follow them. As these issues play out in our courts and the media, any advocacy on these matters should be directed at state and federal officials elected to make laws and policies that affect public education," the statement read.A CDE spokesperson told Fox News Digital, "The California Department of Education cannot comment on this matter, as we cannot comment on pending litigation."The CIF has not responded to Fox News Digital's requests for response to the lawsuit.California Gov. Gavin Newsom's office provided a statement to Fox News Digital in response to the complaints by athletes and parents, suggesting the responsibility falls on the CIF, CDE and state legislature, but not on him."CIF is an independent nonprofit that governs high school sports. The California Department of Education is a separate constitutional office. Neither is under the Governors authority," the statement read."CIF and the CDE have stated they follow existing state law a law that was passed in 2013 and signed by Governor Jerry Brown (not Newsom) andin line with 21 other states. For the law to change, the legislature would need to send the Governor a bill. They have not."Follow Fox News Digitals sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Former Vice President Kamala Harris faced swift criticism for saying that it was not viable to have former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg as her running mate in 2024 due to him being gay."I guess Id ask you to just elaborate on that a little bit. Its hard to hear," MSNBC host Rachel Maddow said Monday during an interview with Harris about her campaign memoir." Youre the first woman elected vice president. Youre a Black woman and a South Asian woman elected to that high office, very nearly elected president. To say that he couldnt be on the ticket effectively because he was gay, its hard to hear."In her new book, "107 Days," Harris wrote that Buttigieg "would have been an ideal partner if I were a straight White man.""That's not what I said, that he couldn't be on the ticket because he is gay," the former presidential candidate responded. "I was clear that in '107 Days,' in one of the most hotly contested elections for president of the United States against someone like Donald Trump, who knows no floor, to be a Black woman running for president of the United States, and as a vice presidential running mate, a gay man. With the stakes being so high, it made me very sad. But I also realized it would be a real risk."KAMALA HARRIS BREAKS SILENCE ON BIDEN DROPOUT, ADMITS SHE HAS REGRETS ABOUT HER HANDLING OF SITUATIONShe said she had been an ally of the LGBTQ community her whole life and said it was not due to any "prejudice" on her part, but rather because she feared it would be untenable with Americans to elect a Black woman with a gay running mate."We had such a short period of time. And the stakes were so high. I think Pete is a phenomenal, phenomenal public servant," she said.Harris interview was immediately criticized online."Kamala Harris claims she couldn't pick Pete Buttigieg as her VP because he's gay, so she settled for buffoon Tim Walz," conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings said, mocking Harris later choice for running mate. "So to her, being gay is a bigger liability than endorsing taxpayer-funded sex changes for minors?! This logic is incoherent. Voters made the right choice."Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, also mocked Harris eventual choice, writing, "Kamala couldnt pick Buttigieg bc hes gay. She couldnt pick Shapiro bc hes Jewish. So, in todays crazy Dem party, she went with Walzwhos just weird!"KAMALA HARRIS' NOD TO PETE BUTTIGIEG TEES UP POTENTIAL 2028 RUN: DNC VICE CHAIRTalk show host Piers Morgan balked at how the times have changed, quipping, "This is beyond parody Kamala admits to snubbing Buttigieg because hes gay. What happened to DEI?!"Radio personality Bo Snerdley mocked Harris, arguing she was speaking deceptively about her own words in her book."She didn't say what her book said she said but then she says it again," he wrote.It wasn't just on the right that Harris took criticism."I'm not a Buttigieg fan, but the way homophobia often works is that people discriminate against gay people on the basis of the idea that other people are homophobic," Noah Berlatsky wrote on progressive-leaning social media site Bluesky.Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Harris failed to trust her "gut" with her decision. Buttigieg himself said he was surprised by Harris' admission, telling Politico, "My experience in politics has been that the way that you earn trust with voters is based mostly on what they think youre going to do for their lives, not on categories."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREFox News Digital reached out to Harris team and the Human Rights Campaign, a major LGBTQ advocacy group, but did not receive an immediate response.

PROVO, Utah Tyler Robinson, the 22-year-old accused of fatally shooting Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk during a campus speech earlier this month, finally has a defense attorney.Kathryn Nester, a former federal public defender with more than 30 years of experience, is spearheading the defense, according to a Utah County spokesperson.Kirk, a 31-year-old father of two, was facing a crowd at Utah Valley University as part of a national speaking tour when a sniper's bullet struck him in the neck in the campus courtyard.CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION SUSPECT REMAINS IN SPECIAL HOUSING UNIT DESPITE COMPLETED MENTAL EVALUATIONIn a news release on Wednesday, officials announced Robinson's attorney was approved by the Utah County Commission."This afternoon, the Utah County Commission unanimously approved a contract to appoint legal counsel for Tyler James Robinson, as required under Utah law and after the court determined he couldnt afford private counsel," the spokesperson said. "This action fulfills the Commissions constitutional responsibility to ensure that individuals accused of a crimewho cannot afford legal representationare provided with a qualified defense."Nester also serves as an attorney for Kouri Richins, a mother of three accused of poisoning her husband, Eric Richins, in March 2022, according to KPCW. Richins would go on to write a children's book about grief after her husband's death.Richins was slapped with a slew of felony charges, including aggravated murder.COMPLETE COVERAGE OF CHARLIE KIRKRobinson is an electrician apprentice who recently drifted apart from his immediate family and became "more political" and supporting "more pro-gay and trans rights" over the past year, according to court documents.In a text message to his roommate and trans romantic partner, he allegedly confessed to the crime and attempted to explain himself."I had enough of his hatred," he wrote, referring to Kirk, according to court documents. "Some hate cant be negotiated out."Robinson faces charges including aggravated murder, which carries the potential death penalty in Utah. As a result, his defense counsel and co-counsel are required under state law to be qualified to defend death penalty cases.He may also face federal charges in separate proceedings.

New York City voters across all demographic groups are dissatisfied with the direction of the city, and most are looking for significant change in the citys government. That sentiment has propelled Democrat Zohran Mamdani to the lead in the mayoral race despite concerns that his proposed tax increases may chase people out of the city.A new Fox News survey of New York City registered voters finds Mamdani, the Democratic Partys nominee and self-proclaimed Democratic Socialist, leading the race by 18 percentage points with 45% support.Former New York governor and independent candidate Andrew Cuomo comes in second with 27%, Republican Party nominee Curtis Sliwa gets 11% and current mayor and independent candidate Eric Adams garners 8%. Among likely voters, the race looks largely the same: 47% Mamdani, 29% Cuomo, 11% Sliwa and 7% Adams.FOX NEWS POLL: VOTERS WANT GREATER INVOLVEMENT IN UKRAINE, SUPPORT CURRENT APPROACH IN ISRAELThe analysis below focuses on preferences and opinions among registered voters.Some of Mamdanis best groups include very liberal voters (79%), those under age 35 (61%), women under 45 (60%), Democrats (57%), and Black and Hispanic voters (49% each).Cuomo receives strong support from Jewish voters (40%), White voters ages 45+ (37%), voters ages 65 and higher (33%) and moderates (31%).Republicans prefer Sliwa (41%), while five times as many back Cuomo (32%) as Mamdani (6%). Independents are split: 26% Mamdani, 23% Cuomo and 14% each to Adams and Sliwa.FOX NEWS POLL: TRUMP'S RATINGS ARE STRONG ON BORDER SECURITY, WEAK ON THE ECONOMYThe Big Apple has problems: 62% are dissatisfied with the direction its headed, with at least six in 10 Democrats (61%), Republicans (70%) and independents (59%) saying they are unhappy.That frustration results in three-quarters of voters wanting either substantial (37%), dramatic (20%) or revolutionary change (18%) in how the citys government is run. Mamdani has a significant lead among both those wanting at least substantial change and those dissatisfied with the citys trajectory. His advantage is so considerable he also holds an edge with voters satisfied with how things are going.Mamdani supporters are more enthusiastic about voting this year (63%) and more certain they will back him (83%) compared to the other candidates. Plus, most describe their support as for him (86%) rather than against his opponents (12%).For Cuomo, 32% of his backers are enthusiastic, 65% are certain and 59% say their vote is for him rather than against his opponents (39%).Voters say the top three problems facing New York City are crime (25%), followed by the cost of living (20%) and the lack of affordable housing (17%).Crime is the No. 1 concern for Republicans (50%) and independents (29%) while for Democrats its divided across costs (23%), crime (19%) and housing (19%).Cuomo is narrowly favored (+12 points) among those who prioritize crime, while Mamdani has wide advantages among those citing the cost of living (+40) and housing (+41).Concerns about the high cost of living, the need for better city services and a heavy tax burden produce nuanced policy opinions. For example, seven in 10 New York City voters think raising taxes will cause a mass exodus of businesses and people that will leave the city more cash strapped.At the same time, another seven in 10 favor raising taxes on residents with an annual income greater than $1 million. There is widespread agreement on both questions among Democrats, Republicans and independents.Theres a reason Mamdani is campaigning with Bernie Sanders. New Yorkers like the Independent senator from Vermont. Sanders is the most popular individual tested on the survey (61% favorable opinion), followed by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (53%), Mamdani (50%) and Cuomo (45%). Adams (29%), Sliwa (28%) and President Donald Trump (24%) are viewed positively by around one-quarter of voters.When voters are asked to say in their own words why they like or dislike the candidates, the top positives for Mamdani are liking his policies generally, feeling he cares, change/having new ideas and his focus on affordability. The main reasons given for disliking him are hes a communist/socialist, his position on Israel, not liking his policies, lack of experience and unrealistic policies.Are Mamdanis left-leaning economic policies a potential Achilles heel? Probably not. In a city where more than twice as many voters are registered as Democrats than Republicans, capitalism is viewed more favorably than socialism by just seven points (48% vs. 41%).Experience is the top reason voters like Cuomo, while sexual harassment allegations are the main reason he is disliked. For Adams, voters also give him the thumbs-up for experience, whereas his detractors mainly focus on allegations of corruption.For Sliwa, his main positive trait is that hes tough on crime (a top issue for voters), but his main negative is that voters dont think he is a serious candidate."Mamdani is the change candidate in a change election," says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who helps run the Fox News Poll along with Democrat Chris Anderson. "And, like many voters for change candidates, his supporters are enthusiastic."Immigration and the Middle EastOnly 3% mention illegal immigration as the citys No. 1 problem, and when it comes to policy options, most (67%) favor only deporting those charged with crimes but allowing others to stay in the U.S. and apply for citizenship.On the Middle East, more voters back the Palestinians (46%) than the Israelis (38%).Thats the opposite of results nationally.In line with Mamdanis criticism of Israel and Cuomos support, those backing Mamdani side with the Palestinians by a 49-point margin, while those favoring Cuomo side with the Israelis by 16 points. More Jewish voters prefer Cuomo (40%) than Mamdani (27%) or Adams (12%).One more thingTwice as many NYC voters say the way Republicans talk about politics is leading to an increase in violence (68%) than feel the same about Democrats (32%). Democrats and Republicans are equally likely to think their counterparts words lead to violence, while independents are more likely to cite Republican rhetoric as dangerous.CLICK HERE FOR CROSSTABS AND TOPLINEConducted September 18-22, 2025 under the joint direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Fox News Poll includes interviews with a sample of 1,003 New York City registered voters randomly selected from a statewide voter file. Respondents spoke with live interviewers on landlines (150) and cellphones (598) or completed the survey online by following a link received via text message (255). Results based on the registered voter sample have a margin of sampling error of 3 percentage points. There was a subsample of 814 likely voters and the margin of sampling error was 3.5 percentage points. Sampling error for results among subgroups is higher. Results among subgroups are only shown when the sample size is at least N=100. In addition to sampling error, question wording and order can influence results. Sources for developing weight targets include the most recent American Community Survey, Fox News Voter Analysis, and voter file data. Weights are generally applied to age, race, education, and area variables to ensure the demographics of respondents are representative of the registered voter population. Likely voters are identified based on past vote history and self-reported likelihood of voting.

FIRST ON FOX Eight federal inmates once on death row for murders, including the killings of fellow prisoners, gang-related stabbings, and the slayings of two campers have been transferred to a notorious "supermax" prison in Colorado, the Justice Department told Fox News Digital. The news comes as U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi looks to crack down on the previous administration's sweeping clemency actions.The eight former death row inmates were transferred Tuesday to the U.S. Penitentiary Administrative Maximum Facility in Florence, Colorado, also known as "ADX," Justice Department officials confirmed.They were among the 37 death row inmates whose sentences Biden commuted in late December prompting criticism and complaints that the record clemency and commutation actions were done as a political "Hail Mary," and without proper vetting.More of the death row inmates are expected to be moved to ADX, some within weeks, according to one individual familiar with the matter.The 37 death row inmates commuted by Biden are all expected to be moved to the facility by "early next year," the Justice Department source told Fox News Digital.BIDEN CLEMENCY ANNOUNCEMENT GETS MIXED REVIEWS ON CAPITOL HILL: 'WHERE'S THE BAR?'The effort comes as Bondi and the Trump administration have sought to reverse some of the Biden administration's efforts on criminal justice reform for certain criminals, and instead moved to prioritize violent crime and cracking down on the nation's worst offenders.Though a commutation cannot be fully reversed, Justice Department officials told Fox News Digital, Bondi has prioritized ways to penalize these individuals, in coordination with directives from Trump, and to ensure that the "conditions of confinement" are "consistent with the security risks those inmates present because of their egregious crimes, criminal histories, and all other relevant considerations," according to an earlier DOJ memo.The eight inmates sent to ADX this week were each convicted of first-degree murder within federal jurisdiction.Many had been convicted of crimes that were especially heinous or violent. One individual was convicted of murdering a married couple who was camping at a campsite in the Ouachita National Forest in July 2003.Another was convicted of kidnapping, robbing, and murdering a 51-year-old local bank president by tying him to a concrete block and chain hoist, and tossing him off of a bridge and into a lake.Many had also killed prisoners while serving time a factor that can be used in weighing whether to transfer a convicted felon to a higher-security prison.JUDGES V TRUMP: HERE ARE THE KEY COURT BATTLES HALTING THE WHITE HOUSE AGENDAADX is the only true federal "supermax" prison in the U.S., and its inmates are as notorious as the prison's reputation. Among them are Ramzi Yousef, convicted in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing; Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the Boston Marathon bombers; former Sinola Cartel leader Joaqun Guzmn, or "El Chapo"; and Mamdouh Mahmud Salim, the co-founder of al-Qaeda."President Bidens decision to commute the death sentences of these monsters showed abhorrent disregard for our justice system and total disrespect for victims families already suffering through immense loss," Attorney General Pam Bondi said in a statement to Fox News Digital.BIDEN STIRS OUTRAGE IN SCRANTON BY COMMUTING 'KIDS FOR CASH' JUDGE'S SENTENCE"After meeting with many of the victims families at the Department of Justice and promising to take action on their behalf, eight of these prisoners have been transferred to the Colorado super-max prison ADX. This will ensure that they spend the remainder of their lives in conditions consistent with the egregious crimes they committed," she added.Shortly after her confirmation as attorney general, Bondi issued a memo aimed at "restoring a measure of justice" to the victims' families.The measures granted by Biden earned more criticism than former President Barack Obama: As Fox News reported at the time, the vast majority of Obamas clemency actions focused on commuting the sentences of federal inmates who met certain criteria outlinedunder his administrations Clemency Initiative.Bondi hosted victims' families earlier this year to hear their concerns about the commutations, DOJ said. Some said they had been stunned by the eleventh-hour commutations, and that they not been given a heads-up by the Biden administration.In February, Bondi issued a memo to the Bureau of Prisons ordering an evaluation of where these prisoners should be detained.
