In addition to pursuing the death penalty where possible, the Attorney General shall, where consistent with applicable law, pursue Federal jurisdiction and seek the death penalty regardless of other factors for every federal capital crime involving:

(i)   The murder of a law-enforcement officer; or

(ii)  A capital crime committed by an alien illegally present in this country.

The Attorney General shall encourage State attorneys general and district attorneys to bring State capital charges for all capital crimes with special attention to the crimes described in Subsections (i) and (ii), regardless of whether the federal trial results in a capital sentence.

      Yeah didn’t he just pardon 1,500 of them? I realize that not all of them actually got the chance to kill a cop that day, but some did and most seemed to be trying real hard to.

      Why not just make every crime a federal crime. And then king Trump can decide all by himself what crime is ok and what crime is not.
