Leonard Peltier, the 80-year-old activist and "remorseless killer" who has been in prison for just shy of 50 years in connection with a 1975 ambush shooting that left two FBI agents dead on a South Dakota reservation, is headed home.

His first stop is expected to be a welcome home party at a reservation casino, according to the NDN Collective, an indigenous rights group, where supporters plan to celebrate his release from what they claim was a "wrongful incarceration."

"Today I am finally free," Peltier said in a statement thanking supporters released by the collective after he left a federal prison in Sumterville, Florida. "They may have imprisoned me, but they never took my spirit."

In one of his last moves in office, former President Joe Biden granted Peltier clemency over fiery objections from both former FBI Director Christopher Wray and the FBI Agents Association.

Peltier was serving two consecutive life sentences for his role in the slayings of FBI agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams. He received another seven years on top of that for an armed escape attempt.
