Trump to sign executive orders aimed at ending cashless bail in D.C. and across the nation

Trump plans to sign an executive order Monday aimed at eliminating cashless bail for arrested suspects in Washington, D.C., a senior White House official said.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump plans to sign executive orders Monday aimed at eliminating cashless bail for suspects arrested in Washington, D.C., and in other jurisdictions around the nation with similar policies, according to fact sheets describing the executive orders that the White House provided to NBC News.

The executive order on D.C. directs the administration to take certain actions if the city does not change its cashless bail policy, including "federal funding decisions, services, or approvals," according to the fact sheet. Attorney General Pam Bondi, too, could get involved, though the fact sheet did not detail what actions she might take.

The order on D.C., first reported by Axios, will also ask law enforcement officials to work to ensure that people arrested in the city are taken into federal custody "to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law," according to a copy of the fact sheet obtained by NBC News.

The executive order aimed at other cities across the nation will direct the administration to find federal funds that could be "suspended or terminated" in jurisdictions that have cashless bail policies, the fact sheet said.

A spokesperson for Mayor Muriel Bowser’s office declined to comment to NBC News.
