Trump to sign executive order ending cashless bail
2025-08-26
[NYPOST] President Trump is expected to sign an executive order Monday ending cashless bail by threatening to revoke federal funding for jurisdictions across the country, The Post has learned.

Attorney General Pam Bondi will provide Trump with a list of the no-cash-bail jurisdictions that could end up targeting states like New York, cities such as Washington, DC, or other localities with lax bail policies.

''Cashless bail policies allow dangerous individuals to immediately return to the streets and further endanger law-abiding, hard-working Americans because they know our laws will not be enforced,'' a White House memo on the executive action states.

Arresting repeat offenders for new crimes after they've already been freed without bail is a ''waste of public resources and obvious threat to public safety,'' the memo also noted, citing instances of violent mostly peaceful mostly peaceful offenders being released onto the streets, only to be charged again.

On Aug. 11, the president called on Congress to tighten laws around cashless bail so criminals would not be cut loose without posting a cash bond before their trial.
