Trump signs orders targeting cashless bail, flag burning

President Trump on Monday signed a series of executive orders aimed at further cracking down on crime in the nation’s capital and other parts of the country, including one order targeting cashless bail policies and another seeking to crack down on those who desecrate the American flag.

The cashless bail order directs the administration to potentially review federal funding if jurisdictions do not move away from cashless bail policies.

Washington, D.C., moved away from cash bail decades ago. Illinois has eliminated cash bail entirely, and states like New York and New Jersey have moved away from cash bail for certain offenses.
