Biden Grants Clemency to Nonviolent Drug Offenders, Including Marijuana Offenses

President Joe Biden has issued a proclamation granting a full and unconditional pardon to all current US citizens and lawful permanent residents who have committed or been convicted of the offense of simple possession of marijuana, attempted simple possession of marijuana, or use of marijuana. This pardon aims to alleviate the unnecessary collateral consequences of these convictions, such as barriers to employment, housing, and education. The pardon applies to violations of federal and D.C. laws, as well as provisions in the Code of Federal Regulations, specifically related to simple possession or use of marijuana. The pardon does not extend to offenses involving other controlled substances or activities beyond simple possession of marijuana. The Attorney General will review applications for certificates of pardon and issue them to eligible applicants.

"National Emergency Extended to Counter Foreign Interference in US Elections"

President Biden has announced the continuation of the national emergency declared in 2018 regarding foreign interference in or undermining public confidence in United States elections. While there is no evidence of foreign powers altering election outcomes, the proliferation of digital devices and internet-based communications has increased vulnerabilities. The unauthorized accessing of election infrastructure and the distribution of propaganda and disinformation remain significant threats. The national emergency will continue for another year, as declared in Executive Order 13848.
