US EditionTrump signs orders ending cashless bail, making flag burning illegal
- On Monday, President Donald Trump signed executive orders ending cashless bail in Washington, D.C., and directing the Justice Department to prosecute flag burning.
- These actions respond to concerns over crime and flag desecration despite the 1989 Supreme Court ruling protecting flag burning as free speech.
- The bail reform started in D.C. in the 1990s restricts monetary bail, and the order aims to federalize custody and prosecution of suspects to reverse this policy.
- Trump stated that flag burning will be punishable by one year in jail with no early release, and federal law enforcement can deploy nationwide on less than 24 hours' notice.
- The executive orders may withhold federal funds from jurisdictions retaining cashless bail and revoke immigration benefits for foreign nationals who burn the American flag.
