Two New York congressional representatives, Nick Langworthy and Elise Stefanik, who support former President Trump, are urging Governor Kathy Hochul to end New York's bail reform policies, aligning with Trump's executive order to eliminate cashless bail. Langworthy criticized Democratic policies for increasing crime, while Stefanik blamed Hochul’s laws for violent crimes in the state. Enacted in 2019, New York's bail reform aimed to reduce pretrial incarceration and address justice system inequities, with supporters citing studies suggesting it improves fairness and safety, though critics argue it has contributed to rising crime.
