President Trump to Sign Executive Order Ending Cashless Bail Today

By The Blog Source

On Monday, President Trump will sign an executive order that ends cashless bail. He will do this by threatening to take away federal money from states and towns who allow it. Attorney General Pam Bondi is going to provide Trump a list of places, including New York and Washington, DC, where serial criminals have been let go without bail and then gone on to commit further crimes.

The New York Post reported about  White House documents that state cashless bail practices "allow dangerous people to immediately return to the streets" and "further endanger law-abiding, hard-working Americans." It also says that detaining repeat offenders again is a waste of time and money.

The Executive Order keeps Trump's campaign vow to go after "left-wing jurisdictions that refuse to prosecute dangerous criminals and set loose violent felons on cashless bail." It comes only weeks after the president sent the National Guard to Washington, DC, to help with drug and criminal enforcement. States like Illinois, New Jersey, and New Mexico have already gotten rid of cash bail. In 2019, New York made big reforms that garnered condemnation from both parties, including from Democrats like Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams.

President Trump is going to sign the executive order on Monday. This will be one of his most forceful moves yet against cashless bail arrangements. Attorney General Pam Bondi will provide Trump a list of places with no-cash-bail legislation. This may include New York, Washington, D.C., and other liberal areas that have made it easier for people to get out of jail before their trial.

The White House letter on the unilateral move was clear: "Cashless bail policies let dangerous people go back to the streets right away and put law-abiding, hard-working Americans in even more danger because they know our laws won't be enforced." The report also said that re-arresting repeat criminals who were released without bail was "a waste of public resources and an obvious threat to public safety."

Since New York got rid of cash bail for most misdemeanors and nonviolent crimes in 2019, it has been at the heart of the argument. Critics point to incidents like the two convicted murderers who were recently released without bail after being detained for drug selling, or the suspected Tren de Aragua gang member who was released on attempted murder charges and then captured in a narcotics raid, only to be released again. Since 2024, one very active pickpocket in the city has been nabbed 45 times but keeps going through the system.

The White House also pointed to a report from California that revealed crime went up by 163% in Yolo County when a "zero bail" policy was put in place. Federal authorities say that local attempts to change bail have led to more crime and made communities less safe.

This year, Bondi's Department of Justice has already shut off more than 360 grants totaling hundreds of millions of dollars. They say the people who got the money used it for "left-wing causes rather than public safety." "Under Attorney General Bondi's leadership, the Department of Justice is committed to ensuring its resources are spent on arresting criminals, getting drugs off the streets, and crucial litigation," a DOJ spokesperson stated earlier this year.

Trump's executive order will now apply that premise to the whole country, using federal money to force towns and states to do away with cashless bail. For Trump, this is another way to show that he is the president who will put law and order ahead of progressive initiatives that he thinks have failed.
