D.C., which is a specific target of Trump's new executive orders, was a pioneer of cashless bail. The district eliminated a money bail system in 1992 in favor of a judge using risk assessment tools to determine whether someone is a threat to public safety or a flight risk.

President Donald Trump moved on two issues important to his conservative base Monday, signing executive orders aimed at ending cashless bail across the country and pushing courts to reconsider the legality of burning the American flag.
