President Donald Trump is set to sign executive orders focused on federal intervention in crime-related policies, with a particular focus on ending cashless bail practices and addressing flag desecration. The White House has confirmed that Trump will sign an order that threatens to withdraw federal funding from cities and states that have enacted cashless bail policies. Trump has been critical of cashless bail. The President is also expected to sign an executive order instructing the Attorney General to address flag desecration, despite the First Amendment’s protection of flag burning. Trump has recently increased threats of federal involvement in crime outside the capital. State and local officials have reacted negatively to the potential use of the National Guard in their cities.
