On Monday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order threatening to withhold federal funding from states and localities that have enacted “cashless bail policies.” The order instructs Attorney General Pam Bondi to compile a list of jurisdictions that have “substantially eliminated” their cash bail systems, which require criminal defendants who can’t afford court-imposed collateral to sit in jail while awaiting trial.

The administration could move to suspend or terminate those jurisdictions’ federal grants and contracts, the order said.

Trump signaled that he has New York in his sights, even though the state allows cash bail for almost all of the offenses the order describes. That could put the state’s 2019 pretrial detention reforms at risk — though similar moves by the Trump administration have met hurdles in federal courts.

Three committee chairs of the New York City Council sent a letter to Mayor Eric Adams’s administration on Monday demanding that it immediately halt an ongoing expansion of police surveillance in public housing developments and requesting information that could enable a public hearing or investigation.

The letter followed a New York Focus investigation earlier this month that found that the New York City Police Department is using a free internet program to expand its real-time video surveillance capabilities at New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) developments without notifying lawmakers or residents.

Since April, New York’s state-funded home care program has been in upheaval. That month, the $9 billion program was taken over by the company Public Partnerships, LLC (PPL), which became responsible for managing the care of the hundreds of thousands of elderly and disabled New Yorkers who use it.

Home care workers and patients have consistently struggled to navigate PPL’s bureaucracy, reporting unreturned calls, missed paychecks, malfunctioning software, and other issues. Thousands of people have left the program entirely.

On Thursday, New York lawmakers held a hearing trying to get to the bottom of the chaos.
