Attorney General William Barr said he was willing to go to the U.S. Supreme Court to ensure federal executions will restart despite a temporary block by a U.S. district judge, according to the Associated Press.
Federal executions have not been carried out in 16 years. There are five individuals on death row set to be executed, a process the government could begin as soon as December 9 if it can win the appeal.
U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Churkan's decision placed four of the five scheduled executions on hold. A fifth had already been indefinitely postponed. All five, however, have used all of their allowed appeals.
