In response to President Trump’s executive order aimed at ending cashless bail and threatening federal funding cuts, New York leaders largely adopted a wait-and-see stance, with some asserting the order doesn’t apply to the state’s bail laws. Critics, including Gov. Kathy Hochul, argued the order is vague and misrepresents New York’s existing bail reforms, which have already been adjusted multiple times. Supporters of bail reform contend that the policies have helped reduce crime and recidivism, while opponents blame them for increasing crime rates. The order has received praise from some New York politicians and bail reform opponents, but others see it as an overreach by the federal government into state affairs. The impact of the order remains uncertain, as legal and political responses continue to unfold.
