FARGO, N.D. (Valley News Live) - 50 years ago, Indigenous Actvist Leonard Peltier was convicted in the killings of two FBI agents in South Dakota. After years of parole hearings, one of Former President Biden’s last acts in office commuted Peltier’s life sentence.

Native American activist Leonard Peltier said spending the rest of his life in home confinement after being granted clemency by former President Joe Biden is "as good as freedom," after Biden's own FBI director opposed commutation for a man sentenced to life for the killing of two FBI agents.

President Biden said the decision will allow Peltier, an 80-year-old Native American activist, to fulfill the remainder of his sentence from home.
