Today, President Biden announced that he is granting clemency to nearly 1,500 Americans – the most ever in a single day – who have shown successful rehabilitation and a strong commitment to making their communities safer. The President is commuting the sentences of close to 1,500 individuals who were placed on home confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic and who have successfully reintegrated into their families and communities. He is also pardoning 39 individuals who were convicted of non-violent crimes. These actions represent the largest single-day grant of clemency in modern history.

FACT SHEET: President Biden Announces Clemency for Nearly 1,500 Americans



Everybody gets a pardon!

I don't agree with pardoning most drug offenses, but the others seem all good.

Fair to disagree with this but it's not yet a blatantly political pardon like the kind he issued for Hunter or Trump issued for all his cronies in 2020.

We all know these 1500 people are just backdoor deals made as requests for Biden and that he doled out at the end of term for prior benefits
