- President Joe Biden commuted the life sentence of Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier, who was convicted in the 1975 killings of two FBI agents, allowing him to move to home confinement.
- Peltier's case has become a symbol of Indigenous rights struggles in the U.S., with supporters claiming he was wrongfully convicted due to fabricated evidence.
- Biden's decision follows decades of advocacy for Peltier's release and comes as part of his record-setting number of pardons and commutations.
- The FBI and some law enforcement groups opposed the commutation, asserting that Peltier's conviction was just and he remains guilty of the crime.
