Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier was released from prison after President Joe Biden commuted his life sentence for the 1975 killings of two FBI agents, a decision that sparked both celebration and criticism. Peltier's supporters view his release as a symbol of systemic injustice for Native Americans who believe in his innocence. The 80-year-old activist, who has maintained his innocence, plans to return to North Dakota after spending most of his life in prison. Peltier's case has garnered support from prominent figures and Indigenous groups advocating for his release for decades. Despite being released to home confinement, Peltier's advocates continue to push for a full pardon.
