The White House is attacking states' rights by forcing cash bail policies. This move undermines local control and public safety. President Trump demands that states incarcerate without considering their unique needs. This top-down mandate ignores the people and favors federal overreach. The Attorney General must identify states with cashless bail policies. So called "Federal dollars" (the money stolen from the citizens and the states in a form of taxes) will be withheld from these states, punishing them for making local decisions about justice. The administration's heavy hand threatens freedom and local governance. Why should Washington dictate how states ensure justice?
