Native American activist Leonard Peltier was released from a Florida prison on Tuesday, weeks after then-President Joe Biden angered law enforcement officials by commuting his life sentence to home confinement in the 1975 killings of two FBI agents.

Leonard Peltier, who has been described as a “remorseless killer” after being convicted of killing two FBI agents on a South Dakota reservation, was released after nearly five decades in prison after being granted clemency by former President Biden during one of his final acts while in office.

Indigenous activists who maintain his innocence celebrated the release as a decades-overdue victory, while law enforcement officials called it a mistake.

Peltier's imprisonment had symbolized systemic injustice for Native Americans across the country who believe in his innocence.

More than 50 years after a shootout on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation landed him in federal prison, Leonard Peltier remains defiant. He maintains his innocence in the deaths of two FBI agents in 1975 and sees his newfound freedom — the result of a commutation from former President Joe Biden — as the beginning of a new phase of his activism.
