US EditionTrump signs orders ending cashless bail, making flag burning illegal
Trump's executive orders threaten to withhold federal funds from jurisdictions with cashless bail, citing a 70.6% rearrest rate among released individuals, and impose jail for flag burning to maintain order.
- President Donald Trump signed an executive order on August 25 requiring the Justice Department to investigate and prosecute individuals who burn the American flag, despite a Supreme Court ruling protecting it as free speech under the First Amendment.
- The order allows for penalties of one year in jail for flag burning and revocation of visas for foreign nationals who commit this act.
- Attorney General Pam Bondi mentioned that the administration will seek to prosecute flag burning cases without violating the First Amendment, which will likely lead to legal challenges.
- Legal analysts questioned the order's effectiveness, noting that existing laws limit what can be done regarding cashless bail, and that Trump cannot overrule Supreme Court decisions.
