“Defendants convicted of killing white people, the study found, were far more likely to be executed than the killers of Black people.”

The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 per curiam decision, vacates the district court injunction halting the pending federal executions. Justices Breyer and Sotomayor write dissenting opinions, joined by Justices Ginsburg and Ginsburg and Kagan, respectively.

Judge blocks what would have been the first federal execution in 17 years after a petition from the victim's family asked the court to consider their risk to COVID-19 by traveling to attend the execution. Daniel Lee execution stayed. #nofederalexecutions
