OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — President Donald Trump's newly installed attorney general, Pam Bondi, has ordered the transfer of a federal inmate to Oklahoma so he can be executed, following through on Trump's sweeping executive order to more actively support the death penalty.

Bondi this week directed the Federal Bureau of Prisons to transfer inmate George John Hanson, 60, so that he can be executed for his role in the kidnapping and killing of a 77-year-old woman in Tulsa in 1999.

“The Department of Justice owes it to the victim and her family — as well as the public — to transfer inmate Hanson so that Oklahoma can carry out this just sentence,” Bondi wrote in a memo to the BOP's director.

Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond, who sought Hanson's transfer last month, praised Bondi's swift action. He requested Hanson be transferred before Oklahoma's next execution on March 20 so that he would be eligible for the next available execution date, likely in June.

1. biden commuted the death sentences of all federal inmates except roof and kacinski

did he forget 1?

[hlthe2b]

3. No. He was sentenced to death in OK state court for the murder. His Federal trials predated the murder

sentence and was on unrelated felonies.

6. Current inmates on federal death row:

Robert Gregory Bowers
Dylan Roof
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev

10. thanks

i had forgotten the marathon bomber for sure

[marble falls]

2. Why wasn't his sentence commuted? Why was car jacking made a Federal crime? Just WTF.

[DBoon]

4. Allowing the State to kill someone is inherently totalitarian

It negates any inherent right to live and makes life contingent on government permission

[Hassin Bin Sober]

7. Gotta keep up the breads and circuses

[taxi]

5. Right proud of doing that, no doubt.

Should we tell the new AG that other republicans are killing entire demographics? This killing of one person at a time won't earn much respect..

[Marthe48]

8. is bondi going to make lampshades/

iykyk

14. The first thing I looked for was if Oklahoma had a gas chamber.

It turns out that they are one of eight states allowed to use gas.

[Paladin]

15. That inmate ought to be sporting a MAGA hat, as he goes into the death chamber.

We all know how much trump likes his brand on things. Maybe he'll make a personal appearance, to flip the switch---nothing would surprise me, anymore...

[PlanetBev]

9. That cross wearing Barbie is right on cue.

Full steam ahead. Doesn’t she know that her blessed savior was executed?

[C0RI0LANUS]

11. "Let's hurry up and kill someone! Say, can El Salvador or Panama do some jobs for us? Marco, fly down there and ask!"

[JohnnyRingo]

12. Ghouls.

They all seem to be champing at the bit to legally kill someone.... anyone.

[Botany]

13. The D.P. costs too much and takes way too long but Hanson is a dirt bag so I have zero sympathy for him ...

…. and as long as it is on the books this is someone who needs it. Btw we should just get rid of
the D.P. it doesn’t reduce crime but 100% of those executed never kill again.
