Trump admin updates: Trump plans to issue executive order to require voter ID

President Donald Trump on Monday defended the federal takeover of Washington, D.C., saying it's now in "great shape," as he signed an executive order targeting cashless bail in the city.

"We're ending it, but we're starting by ending it in D.C.," Trump said. "And that we have the right to do through federalization."

Trump was flanked by top officials for the signing, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Vice President JD Vance and Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Trump signed another executive order that the White House said will task the attorney general with identifying areas around the country with cashless bail policies and withholds or revokes federal funds to the city. Trump took aim at cash-bail policies in Illinois and criticized Gov. JB Pritzker as he signed the order.

President Donald Trump plans to sign an executive order Monday aimed at ending cashless bail for suspects arrested in Washington, D.C.,, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.

The order is expected to threaten withholding federal funding from Washington and possibly other cities that have cashless bail, the sources said. Supporters of cashless bail have argued that it harms those lower-income offenders who don't have the means to afford paying bail for release from jail pending trial.

Trump has suggested his administration would take steps to eliminate cashless bail in Washington and other places, and has been more vocal about this in recent weeks amid his federal crackdown in the nation's capital.

"No, we're going to be essentially crime-free. This is going to be a beacon, and it's going to also serve as an example of what can be done. We have to get rid of this cashless bail nonsense," Trump said earlier this month.

Axios first reported Trump's plans to sign the order on Monday.

As of Sunday night, National Guard troops operating in Washington, D.C., are now armed, according to a defense official.

This will apply to the more than 2,200 guardsmen from D.C. and other states that are now serving in the mission in D.C.

Separately, a spokesperson for Joint Task Force-DC confirmed under what rules they can be used.

“The Secretary of Defense has directed JTF-DC service members to carry their assigned service weapon. Task force personnel operate under the established Rules for the Use of Force, which allow the use of force only as a last resort and solely in response to an imminent threat of death or serious bodily harm. JTF-DC remains committed to protecting the safety and wellbeing of the residents of the District of Columbia,” a JTF-DC spokesperson said in a statement.

“Soldiers will be able to carry their service-issued weapons, which may include M-17 pistols or M-4 rifles,” the statement continued.
