Drug used in federal executions under Trump may cause ‘unnecessary pain and suffering,’ Garland says
- The Justice Department has rescinded its protocol for federal executions using pentobarbital, a drug used during the Trump administration, due to concerns about unnecessary pain and suffering.
- Attorney General Merrick Garland's order to withdraw the lethal injection policy comes days before President-elect Donald Trump is set to return to the White House, with a moratorium on federal executions in place since 2021.
- Legal challenges have been brought in several states where pentobarbital is the primary method of execution, potentially leading to reviews of execution protocols nationwide, as the Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual methods.
