    WASHINGTON — "President Donald Trump signed executive orders Monday aimed at eliminating cashless bail for suspects arrested in #WashingtonDC, and in other jurisdictions around the country with similar policies, according to fact sheets describing the executive orders the White House provided to NBC News.

    "The executive order on D.C. directs the administration to take certain actions if the city does not change its cashless bail policy, including '#FederalFunding decisions, services, or approvals,' according to the fact sheet. Attorney General #PamBondi, too, could get involved, though the fact sheet did not detail what actions she might take.

    "The order on D.C., first reported by Axios, also asks law enforcement officials to work to ensure that people arrested in the city are taken into federal custody 'to the fullest extent permissible under applicable law,' the fact sheet said.

    "In the federal custody system, eligible defendants can be released before trial if they meet certain requirements, which can include putting up collateral bonds or fulfilling certain nonfinancial requirements, like #PersonalRecognizance.

    "The executive order aimed at other cities across the country directs the administration to find #FederalFunds that could be 'suspended or terminated' in jurisdictions that have cashless bail policies, the fact sheet said.

    "A spokesperson for Mayor #MurielBowser’s office would not comment."

    "Would make federal #accreditation of colleges and universities—and thus their access to #FederalFunds—contingent on the institution’s policies on responding to protests. Under the 'No Tax Dollars for #CollegeEncampments Act of 2024,' universities would have to regularly disclose how they respond to campus 'incidents of civil disturbance,' defined to include 'a demonstration, riot, or strike,' and their accreditation would be linked to such policies and practices.

    Wolfe began asking questions about how a poor state rejected more than 90% of the people who applied for welfare. She wanted to know where the federal money was going. Her queries led to a referral to the state auditor, who published a scathing report in 2020 questioning more than $90 million in spending."
