Leonard Peltier is set to be released from a Florida prison Tuesday based on former President Joe Biden having commuted his life sentence for the 1975 killings of two FBI agents.

The decision to release the 80-year-old to home confinement was celebrated by supporters.

But the last-minute move as Biden was leaving office also prompted criticism from those who say Peltiers is guilty, including former FBI Director Christopher Wray .

“He hasn’t really had a home since he was taken away to boarding school,” said Nick Tilsen , who has been advocating for Peltier's release since he was a teen and is CEO of NDN Collective , an Indigenous-led advocacy group based in South Dakota . “So he is excited to be at home and paint and have grandkids running around.”.
