President Joe Biden announced a series of last-minute pardons on Sunday, granting clemency to five individuals, including a posthumous pardon for Marcus Garvey, the late civil rights leader and founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.

Republican lawmakers are in an uproar over President Biden's decision to pardon allies targeted by President-elect Trump's circle.

Biden Monday issued several preemptive pardons, some to family members. Following the transition of power, Trump wielded his own clemency power.

The new president agreed to let violent criminals back onto American streets, and then peddled discredited conspiracy theories and lies about the attack.
