"With just moments left before he leaves office, President #JoeBiden #commuted the life sentence of #indigenous activist #LeonardPeltier, who was convicted in the 1975 killings of two FBI agents.
[#]Peltier was denied parole as recently as July and wasn't eligible for parole again until 2026. He was serving life in prison for the deaths of the agents during a standoff on the #PineRidge #Indian #Reservation in South Dakota. He will transition to home confinement, #Biden said in a statement."
