Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Tuesday that federal prosecutors will seek the death sentence for Luigi Mangione if he is convicted of the December crime of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Mangione faces several national charges, including death with a firearm, a violence that qualifies for capital punishment upon faith.

” Mangione’s death of Brian Thompson— an honest man and father of two young kids— was a deliberate, cold-blooded death that frightened America”, Bondi said in a speech. ” After careful consideration, I have directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out President Trump’s plan to stop aggressive violence and Make America Safe Again”.
Mangione is accused of gunning Thompson down outside a Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan on Dec. 4, 2024, as Thompson was heading to an buyers event. Lawyers say the death was politically motivated and deliberate, endangering spectators. Mangione was arrested in Altoona, Pa., five days later.
The Biden administration filed national murder charges against Mangione in December.  ,
The Department of Justice said the shift to seek the death penalty against Mangione is “in range with Attorney General Bondi’s Day One Note as Attorney General entitled’ Reviving The Federal Death Penalty And Lifting The Moratorium On Federal Executions.'”
” Throughout much of its almost 155-year story, the Department of Justice job prosecution and political leadership have properly secured national death sentences against the very worst crooks”, the letter read. ” Regular with Congress’s mission, the Department has consistently and diligently fulfilled its responsibility to carry out those words in accordance with the law. The National people truly are safer, and more stable, as a result of this important work”.

The memorandum made it clear that the Trump way of doing things is through.
Recently, however, the Department’s social management disregarded these essential tasks and supplanted the will of the individuals with their own personal values. Those at the very highest levels of the Department failed to find death sentences against baby criminals, mass murderers, extremists, and other criminals. More awful, the Department’s administration sought and received from former President Biden—commutations for the dying words of 3 7 killers that Department of Justice lawyers had diligently secured over the past three years. These steps seriously undermined the rule oflaw and egregiously damaged the public’s faith in the justice system. For the sufferers of these tragic acts and the loved ones left behind, these steps betrayed our spiritual responsibility and broke our claim to achieve justice.  ,
Despite being an accused cold-blooded criminal, Mangione has become a warrior of the departed.
Next month, California Democrats proposed a vote program named after Mangione. The so-called” Luigi Mangioni]sic ] Access to Health Care Act” aims to make it more difficult for healthcare companies to deny health care says.

Last year, the market of” Saturday Night Live” erupted in cheers when Weekend Update outlet Colin Jost mentioned Mangione’s title. The second was a shocking indication of how twisted things have become, with some relatively willing to honor an accused murderer just because his crime aligns with a preferred social narrative.
But the troubling trend didn’t stop there. CNN White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins ignited outrage last month when she tweeted a link to the defense fund for Mangione.
