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.

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi says the Trump administration will pursue death sentences against federal defendants “whenever possible.”

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.”
