Philadelphia prosecutor threatens to arrest ICE agents

On Tuesday, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner warned ICE agents at Philadelphia International Airport that he would prosecute them for crimes, asserting that a presidential pardon would not shield them from state charges.
President Donald Trump deployed ICE agents to 14 airports, including Philadelphia, to assist with security following a partial government shutdown that caused 3,200 TSA officers to miss shifts on Monday and hundreds to quit.
During a Tuesday press conference, Krasner stated, "I will put you in handcuffs" if agents violate local law, citing past Minneapolis clashes to justify his aggressive stance against federal officers.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called the remarks "disgraceful," while local officials and union leaders planned a Thursday event at City Hall to demand ICE removal from the airport.
The standoff reflects broader tensions between Trump administration enforcement policies and resistance from local officials, with the Philadelphia DA's confrontational approach fueled by criticism of federal mass deportation efforts.

The concept of “innocent until proven guilty” has long been recognized by the Supreme Court as a fundamental legal right of Americans, but don’t tell that to radical, left-wing Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner. As much as Krasner touts the importance of constitutionality, one would think he knows this. But that hasn’t stopped him from playing judge and jury when mentioning confrontations in January between political agitators and pr…
