President Trump has announced his intention to seek the death penalty for all murder cases committed in Washington D.C., despite existing bans on capital punishment in the city. He emphasized that his administration will push for this policy as part of a broader crime crackdown initiative. This move has sparked debate regarding its legality and the potential challenges in implementation. Critics express concerns about the implications of reinstating the death penalty, suggesting it may lead to increased authoritarian measures. Trump has consistently advocated for an expansion of capital punishment during his presidency.
