This was declared by US Attorney General Pamela Bondi. In an official statement released by the Attorney General's office, Pamela Bondi stated:
“Luigi Mangione’s murder of Brian Thompson — an innocent man and father of two young children — was a premeditated, cold-blooded assassination that shocked America. After careful consideration, I have directed federal prosecutors to seek the death penalty in this case as we carry out President Trump’s agenda to stop violent crime and Make America Safe Again."
According to the press release that came with this statement, "The murder was an act of political violence" and the accused's actions were deemed, "actions involved substantial planning and premeditation."

“We’re gonna continue to do the right thing… we're gonna seek the death penalty whenever possible."
In the matter of death penalty for Mangione, his attorney Karen Friedman Agnifilo, made a statement claiming:
"While claiming to protect against murder, the federal government moves to commit the pre-meditated, state-sponsored murder of Luigi. By doing this, they are defending the broken, immoral, and murderous healthcare industry that continues to terrorize the American people."
She further continued, "We are prepared to fight these federal charges, brought by a lawless Justice Department, as well as the New York State charges, and the Pennsylvania charges, and anything else they want to pile on Luigi. This is a corrupt web of government dysfunction and one-upmanship. Luigi is caught in a high-stakes game of tug-of-war between state and federal prosecutors, except the trophy is a young man’s life."
