Measures To End Cashless Bail and Enforce the Law in the District of Columbia

·Donald Trump·90 FR 42125

Directs federal law enforcement agencies participating in the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force to hold arrestees in Washington, D.C. in federal custody where legally possible and to pursue federal charges and pretrial detention for defendants considered a threat to public safety, rather than allowing release under the District's cashless bail policies. Instructs the Attorney General to review Metropolitan Police Department policies that may permit release of dangerous defendants and to ask the Mayor to revise them under the D.C. Home Rule Act. Requires the Attorney General to determine whether the District still prohibits cash bail for serious violent, sexual, or property offenses, and to update that determination if policies change. If cashless bail continues, directs the heads of federal agencies, working with the Office of Management and Budget, to identify actions—potentially including funding, services, or approvals—to press the District to change its bail policies. States it does not alter existing legal authority and creates no enforceable rights.Read the full summary

Suspending Duty-Free De Minimis Treatment for All Countries
