Federal executions to resume, despite falling public support for death penalty

Attorney General William Barr has announced that the federal government will resume enforcement of the death penalty. No federal executions have occurred since 2003, in the face of increasing litigation over the constitutionality of the punishment. Amna Nawaz talks to The Washington Post’s Devlin Barrett about the lethal drugs involved, declining public support and ongoing legal challenges.
