TERRE HAUTE — The first federal execution in 17 years is on hold after a U.S. judge ordered a new delay in federal executions.
Daniel Lewis Lee, of Yukon, Oklahoma, was scheduled to be executed at 4 p.m. Monday at the Federal Correctional Institution in Terre Haute.
A U.S. district judge ordered a new delay in federal executions on Monday morning. Lee's execution had previously been been suspended late Friday following a decision by the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Lee is one of four people who are scheduled to be executed at the federal penitentiary in Terre Haute. Two other men are set to be put to death this week, while another execution is scheduled for August.
The executions, pushed by the Trump administration, would be the first carried out at the federal level since 2003.
