In the USA, prisoners may be executed.
If Donald Trump makes the appropriate decision, it will be the first execution carried out by the U.S. military system since 1961.
The US Army is preparing for the process of executing prisoners sentenced to death by military courts under a special plan named "Operation Resolute Justice."
According to ABC News, the plan involves transferring inmates from the military prison at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, to the federal execution facility in Terre Haute, Indiana. The document stipulates taking necessary organizational measures to carry out executions after the US President approves the death sentences.
Under US law, military courts can impose the death penalty, but the sentence is only carried out after the president's specific approval.
The publication notes that if Donald Trump makes the relevant decision, it would be the first execution carried out by the US military system since 1961. The last military execution in the country's history took place that same year.
In April of this year, the US Department of Justice announced a series of measures aimed at reinstating the practice of the federal death penalty. These include reintroducing the lethal injection protocol and expanding the possibility of using the firing squad method in certain cases.
These decisions were also made after the moratorium on federal executions, which was in effect during the administration of former President Joe Biden, was lifted.
We remind you that during his 2024 election campaign, Donald Trump put forward an initiative to apply the death penalty to immigrants who kill US citizens.
