Trump's Opposition to Cashless Bail Sparks Debate on Justice System

TL;DR Summary
President Donald Trump signed executive orders aimed at ending cashless bail, citing concerns over public safety, though data shows bail reform does not increase crime and can benefit individuals and families by reducing pre-trial detention. Critics argue the move is driven by fear-mongering and could lead to higher correctional costs and negative impacts on justice, while supporters highlight the benefits of bail reform in promoting fairness and safety.
