Former President Trump is intensifying his focus on crime reduction by targeting no-cash bail policies in several major U.S. cities, including Chicago and New York City. Amidst his deployment of the National Guard to Washington, D.C., Trump warned that other cities could face similar federal intervention if they do not tackle rising crime. Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has responded strongly, claiming Trump lacks the legal authority to send troops to Chicago and has made comparisons to Nazi tactics. Trump’s controversial proposals have sparked a heated exchange between him and state officials, with local leaders dismissing his threats as empty. The discussions around bail reform have prompted debate on the effectiveness and implications of cashless bail systems across the country.
