We reached out to the Federal Bureau of Prisons, which provided this statement:
'Upon receipt of a Presidential Pardon, the Designation Sentence Computation Center (DSCC) Section Chief will verify the warrant with the Pardon Attorney. The appropriate institution and warden, or Residential Reentry Management Office will be notified and the pardon will be immediately processed. The inmate will then prepare for release, including obtaining needed identification and medication. The release process could be immediate or may take up to a couple of days depending on the type of pardon and the necessary travel arrangements needed to get the individual from the facility to their release residence, including the purchase of bus or plane tickets.'

Chuck Todd Reveals Trump Name-Drop Led To Alarming Incident Outside D.C. Home
Former 'Meet the Press' host Chuck Todd on Friday opened up about the concerning consequences of President Donald Trump attacking him in his first term when asked about the security risks that come as a result. 'There was direct correlation, right? He'd call your name out, you'd get weird phone calls, you'd get weird death threats, I got my tires slashed in front of my house,' Todd told Times Radio's Maddie Hale. Todd, who left NBC News after nearly two decades back in January, told Hale that he had 'conversations' with Trump regarding his name-checks of people that are not in 'the public square.' 'He goes, 'Oh, isn't it good — he views it as, 'Oh, it's good publicity,'' Todd recalled. He later continued, 'I don't think he's doing it to create a security problem for these people but what he wants to do is deflect blame, 'Just remember, you blame them you don't blame me.' That's always what he's looking for. But the reality is, Maddie, it creates a security problem.' As Trump continues to embark on a revenge tour in his second term — going after his political foes and their associates — judges, their families, elected officials and more of his perceived enemies have faced increased threats leading them to boost their security. Moments earlier, Hale asked Todd about the president's response to three judges on a federal trade court who struck down his sweeping tariffs in a ruling last week (a federal appeals court would go on to reinstate them in a decision the next day). Trump — in an unhinged rant on his Truth Social platform — took aim at the trade court judges (one of whom he appointed) before making a dig at 'sleazebag' Leonard Leo, a former ally who handpicked most of his appeals court and Supreme Court nominees. Todd, later in the interview, claimed that more public officials in Washington have their own security detail now more than any point of his decades covering the nation's capital. 'And it's simply because of the name-checking [and] threats that takes place now by him,' he stressed. Trump Appears To Undercut U.S. Proposal To Iran, Declaring He Won't Allow Any Uranium Enrichment Trump Isn't Making Project 2025 A Reality, Claims Plan's Architect Hakeem Jeffries Slams 'Wannabe King' Trump As His GOP Cronies Try To Ram Through Budget Bill
