The White House announced a proposal today to address the opioid crisis, including imposing the death penalty for those charged with dealing drugs. The opioid crisis is a serious problem that requires a serious solution. These proposals are unconstitutional and absurd.
Drug trafficking is not an offense for which someone can receive the death penalty. The Supreme Court has repeatedly and consistently rejected the use of the death penalty in cases where there has been no murder by the convicted individual.
Trump's approach is disturbingly reminiscent of the war on drugs, which set back American drug policy decades, and codified harm to Black and Brown people — laws we have just begun to reverse.
Like the war on drugs — with a focus on extreme punishments instead of the root causes of drug use and no provisions to address racial disparities — the Trump's proposal will almost certainly fail to solve the actual crisis facing the country.
The Trump administration has, once again, put out a potentially disastrous and ill-thought-out policy proposal. The idea of executing people who sell drugs is ineffective, and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle understand that.
