U.S. President Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order on Monday that seeks to end cashless bail by threatening to revoke federal funding for jurisdictions that use it, according to a White House official, Reuters reported.

Trump is also expected to sign a separate order targeting Washington, D.C. that instructs police to charge suspects with federal crimes and hold them in federal custody to avoid cashless bail, according to a fact sheet seen by Reuters.

The moves are the latest effort by Trump and Republicans to place crime on the national agenda as they preview a game plan to retain power in Washington in the midterm elections next year. Trump recently took control of Washington's police force and has lashed out against Democratic mayors and governors over crime policies.

Cashless bail is a system where defendants are released from jail while awaiting trial based on their promise to appear in court, rather than by paying a specific cash amount, according to Reuters.
