TL;DR Summary

President Trump signed an executive order to eliminate cashless bail across the U.S., citing safety concerns, despite studies showing no link between bail reforms and increased crime. The order threatens to cut federal funding to jurisdictions that allow cashless bail and targets Washington, D.C., specifically. Proponents argue cashless bail is unfair to the poor, while opponents, including Trump, see it as too lenient, with recent reforms in states like New York and Alaska aiming to address these issues.
