President Biden announced that he is commuting the sentences of roughly 1,500 non-violent offenders and pardoning 39 Americans in the biggest single-day act of clemency in modern history. NBC’s Peter Alexander reports for TODAY.

All saw their federal sentences commuted by President Joe Biden on Thursday in the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history.

Anthony Le, of Alabama, was 21 when he was sentenced to ten years for drug and gun charges in 2020 after he entered a guilty plea on one count for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and two counts of using, carrying or possessing a firearm during or in relation to a drug trafficking felony, according to prosecutors.
