| 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 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.

| #2 Serious and Violent crimes, I agree $$$ bond according to the offense. I'd support Ankle GPS tracking on release. BUT! When a person signs their speeding/moving violation traffic ticket, or a ticket for littering, isn't that a signature bond? So Trump needs to be very specific about what level of crime the E.O. is addressing. Or the police are going to need a lot more jail cells and the jurisdictions will need a lot more bail bondmen with $$$$$$. |

| #1 They will come up with some work around. Government gives to NGO and NGO gives bail back to government. |
