President Donald Trump signed an executive order ending cashless bail on Monday.
“One of the executive orders has to do with cashless bail — that’s when the big crime in this country started,” Trump said before signing the order. He said that when a person kills someone, and they are released on cashless bail, they are just told to return to court, but they don’t.
“They thought it was discriminatory” to require bail after killing people on the street, Trump said.
The executive order charges the attorney general to identify cashless bail jurisdictions in order to withhold their federal funding.
“So important — this isn’t Republican or Democrat, Trump said, signing the order. “By the way, most Democrats agree with this. We got to bring our country back.”
Trump signed another executive order that will hold as many criminals as possible in federal custody so they may face federal prosecution, rather than secure release on the streets because of Washington, D.C.’s, cashless bail policy.
The president also signed an executive order that sentences anyone who burns a flag to incite a riot to a year in prison.
