Today, President Biden granted clemency to nearly 2,500 people convicted of non-violent drug offenses. @POTUS and I believe in the power of redemption. This action corrects sentencing disparities and is an important step toward righting historic wrongs.
Today, I'm commuting the sentences of nearly 2,500 people convicted of non-violent drug offenses. This is an important step toward righting historic wrongs and providing deserving individuals the opportunity to return to their communities after far too much time behind bars.
