WATCH LIVE: President Trump Speaks to Reporters After Signing Executive Order to End Cashless Bail in DC and Leftist Jurisdictions Nationwide
President Trump will sign an executive order this morning aimed at ending lawless pro-crime policies across the nation and protecting law-abiding citizens from criminals.
The Gateway Pundit reported that the executive order threatens to federally defund cities and towns that enforce these policies that are an “obvious threat to public safety.”
According to the New York Post, a memo from the White House states, “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.”
The order will also reportedly end cashless bail in Washington, DC.

This also comes as the President has signaled plans to deploy the National Guard to cities like Chicago, New York, and Illinois to replicate his successful crime crackdown in Washington, DC.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump told reporters on Friday, “I think Chicago will be our next, and then we’ll help with New York.”
He continued, “Now, you look at what the Democrats have done to San Francisco. They’ve destroyed it… We’ll clean that one up, too.”
Earlier this month, Trump announced in a press conference that he was federalizing the DC police and deploying National Guard troops in the streets of Washington, DC, to end the lawlessness in the capital.
He also said he will be working with Republicans in Congress to change the statutes to get rid of no cash bail and “some of the other things” that empower criminals in DC and other major cities across the nation.
The President is scheduled to sign the order and hold a press conference in the Oval Office at 10 am ET.
