Biden clemency decisions spark controversy amid DOJ probe into autopen use
A Nebraska felon whose prison sentence was reduced by former President Joe Biden earlier this year is back in custody — facing a new federal charge after a downtown Omaha shooting just months after his release.
According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Nebraska, 31-year-old Khyre Holbert has been charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm in connection with an Oct. 4 shooting in Omaha’s Old Market district.
The case has reignited criticism of the Biden administration’s clemency program after prosecutors say Holbert reoffended less than a year after being freed.
Holbert had pleaded guilty in 2018 to three federal crimes and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. His sentence was then commuted in January 2025, despite objections from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, which cited Holbert’s alleged gang ties, long criminal record and past gun offenses.
