Trump Commutes Sentence of Chicago Gangster Disciples Founder Larry Hoover

Larry Hoover, founder of the notorious Chicago Gangster Disciples street gang, will be released from prison after President Trump commuted his life sentence. The news broke Wednesday, confirmed by both Hoover's lawyer and the White House. Hoover's attorney stated, "This is a momentous decision that will impact countless lives." The commutation doesn't erase Hoover's conviction for murder and other federal charges, but he will no longer serve his federal sentence. He will still face state charges. This decision has sparked significant debate, raising questions about presidential clemency and its implications for the ongoing fight against gang violence in Chicago. The commutation marks a significant turning point in the long and complex history of the Gangster Disciples and their impact on Chicago's communities.
