(Reuters) – The United States executed the only Native American on federal death row on Wednesday over opposition from the Navajo Nation, which says the government is infringing tribal sovereignty.
Lezmond Mitchell, a 38-year-old Navajo and convicted murderer, was pronounced dead at 6:29 p.m. in the Department of Justice’s execution chamber in Terre Haute, Indiana, according to report by a media witness.
