New York Governor Kathy Hochul is pushing back against President Donald Trump’s executive order to cut federal funding from states that continue cashless bail policies, calling it a “reckless” move that would jeopardize public safety. The confrontation underscores a renewed national debate over bail reform, law enforcement, and violent crime ahead of the 2025 election season.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday that seeks to eliminate cashless bail for those arrested in Washington D.C., while another order aims to end the policy across the country.
