Native American activist Leonard Peltier, who was convicted in the 1970s of murdering two FBI agents, was released from prison Tuesday after then-President Biden commuted his sentence in the final hours of his presidency.

Peltier was released Tuesday morning from Florida’s maximum-security Coleman Federal Correctional Complex, where he has been incarcerated since 2014.

“I am finally going home,” Peltier said in a statement. “Today I am finally free! They may have imprisoned me but they never took my spirit!”
