Trump joins critics of NY's end to cash bail, which will free inmates: New York leaders are drawing criticism, including from President Donald Trump, over a new law set to take effect Jan. 1 that will end cash bail in the state in most cases and will free inmates being held on low-level offenses as early as next month.
The law, approved as part of the state budget in March, doesn't officially start until 2020, but the state court system indicated in recent days that it will begin to stagger the release of inmates next month to avoid a crush of cases in January.
