In total, Biden commuted 37 out of 40 death sentences to life without the possibility of parole. The group Human Rights Dallas said the president should grant clemency to all 40.

President Joe Biden on Monday commuted the sentences of seven men sent to federal death row in Texas, the majority of whom were convicted of killing fellow inmates at the federal prison in Beaumont. The White House said the move would effectively extend Biden’s moratorium on federal executions and prevent President-elect Donald Trump from restarting them when he takes office in January.
