A judge has temporarily blocked the Trump admin.'s plans to resume federal executions.
Criticism of the three-drug method peaked after a botched state execution in Oklahoma in 2014, which led President Barack Obama to order the Justice Department to review the use of lethal injection drugs.
Chutkan's order applies to those four men; the execution of the fifth man, the only Native American on death row, was separately stayed in October by a federal appeals court so it could consider his argument that he wasn't allowed to question jurors for potential racial bias. She rejected the Justice Department's argument that using a single drug in a state that uses three drugs was, in effect, close enough, writing that there was"no statute that gives the BOP or DOJ the authority to establish a single implementation procedure for all federal executions."Chutkan also spurned the government's argument that it would be harmed by delaying the executions, the first of which is scheduled for Dec. 9.
