🚨 On Monday, January 20, 2025, President Trump directed a pardon for more than 200 individuals who were convicted defendants associated with the activities of January 6, 2021. The Federal Bureau of Prisons (FBOP) received the release order for those individuals at roughly 9:30 p.m. on January 20, 2025. Upon formal notification, the FBOP reviewed and verified the individual’s information and conveyed the updated status to the impacted facility where they were housed, and as of approximately 10:30 p.m. the first individuals began being released. Effective 9:30 a.m. on January 21, 2025, all individuals who had their sentence pardoned or commuted, and were under FBOP custody, were released. The entire process for those individuals under FBOP custody took approximately 12 hours and resulted in the release of 211 individuals.

From Acting Director William W. Lothrop: On January 20, 2025, Director Peters separated from the Federal Bureau of Prisons, and I will be serving as the Acting Director. With over 30 years of experience in the Bureau, I’ve had the privilege of working shoulder-to-shoulder with many of you, dedicating my career to ensuring the safety and security of our employees and inmates. As we face ongoing challenges, including staffing shortages and operational issues, I am committed to working alongside you to find real solutions that strengthen our facilities. We will continue collaborating with our law enforcement partners and stakeholders to maintain robust programming and support services for inmates. Our mission remains clear: to provide a safe, secure and humane environment, ensure public safety, and prepare those in our custody for successful reentry into society. https://bit.ly/4hHxZsv
