Philadelphia prosecutor threatens to arrest ICE agents
DA Krasner vowed to prosecute ICE agents at Philadelphia airport for crimes amid TSA worker shortages during the partial government shutdown, citing concerns over safety and training.

- 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.
