Trump Signs Orders on Cashless Bail and Flag Burning

Trump to Issue Executive Order to End Cashless Bail in D.C.

President Trump plans to sign an executive order to end cashless bail in Washington, D.C., as part of a broader federal effort to take control of local law enforcement policies, potentially threatening to withhold federal funding if the city does not comply. The move is part of Trump's tough-on-crime stance and aims to shift suspects into federal custody, challenging D.C.'s longstanding policy of eliminating cash bail, which critics say unfairly impacts low-income individuals and has little effect on crime rates.
