The American Civil Liberties Union sought a preliminary injunction to stop the Trump administration from moving the prisoners to the so-called “supermax” facility in Florence, Colorado. It is considered the highest-security facility in the United States.

Florida state attorney Tom Bakkedahl says he is opening an investigation and hopes to seek the death penalty against Daniel Troya and Ricardo Sanchez, Jr., for the murders of four family members in 2006.

In his first address to Congress since returning to power, President Donald Trump is calling on lawmakers to expand the federal death penalty to include mandatory executions for murdering a police officer.

U.S. officials say five prisoners sustained injuries requiring outside medical attention Monday at a federal prison in Terre Haute. A spokesperson for the U.S. Bureau of Prisons said that “multiple inmates were observed fighting.”

Death row spiritual advisors are struggling to support the prisoners to whom they minister – and each other – amid fears President-elect Donald Trump will restart executions.

“Of course I would,” Trump says, responding to a question about whether or not he would immediately lift Attorney General Merrick Garland's moratorium on federal executions if he's reelected in the fall.
