Defund the Police Henry Cuellar Pushes Crime, Chaos & Cashless Bail

August 25, 2025

President Trump today signed an executive order to eliminate cashless bail in Washington, D.C. and took a direct aim at Democrat Henry Cuellar’s failed, toxic, pro-criminal agenda that’s made Texas cities less safe.

Cuellar has consistently chosen to appease his radical far-left base and push a dangerous defund the police agenda while rejecting the rule of law and threatening the safety of Texans. 

  • Cuellar voted to remove language from a spending bill to make it easier to defund the police.
  • Cuellar voted against condemning calls to “defund,” “disband,” “dismantle,” or “abolish” the police.
  • Cuellar voted to gut ICE’s budget.

“Democrat Henry Cuellar’s pro-criminal agenda and embrace of radical anti-police groups prove he is dangerously out of touch with Texas families. While President Trump is fighting to protect communities, Cuellar is siding with criminals over cops and chaos over safety.” – NRCC Spokesman Zach Bannon
