Biden Autopen Pardons are Null & Void plus Fighting Horrific Nigerian Persecution of Christians

Biden Pardons & Autopen Controversy The discussion centers on claims that President Joe Biden improperly delegated or failed to personally authorize thousands of pardons and commutations at the end of his presidency. Cruz argues that under the Constitution, only the President can personally make pardon decisions, and if staffers used an autopen without Biden’s direct involvement, those pardons are “null and void.” The conversation highlights concerns about Biden’s alleged disengagement, potential misuse of authority by White House staff, and the legal battles that could arise if the Department of Justice revisits these pardons. Persecution of Christians in Nigeria Cruz introduces legislation addressing severe religious persecution in Nigeria, where extremist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa have killed tens of thousands of Christians, attacked churches, and kidnapped priests. The proposed bill, the Nigeria Religious Freedom Accountability Act of 2025 , would classify Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern,” impose sanctions on complicit Nigerian officials, and reinforce designations against jihadist groups. Cruz frames this as part of his long-standing advocacy for global religious freedom and draws parallels to past cases, such as Sudan’s imprisonment of Miriam Ibrahim for her Christian faith.
