DOJ Official Fires Back at Soros-Backed Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner for Threatening to Arrest ICE Agents

Soros-backed Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner is not particularly fond of arresting and prosecuting actual criminals, but he’s a real tough guy when it comes to ICE agents enforcing American immigration laws.

He recently threatened to arrest ICE agents for doing their jobs, and was widely mocked for a stupid tweet he published on the topic.

This week, following the shooting incident in Minneapolis, Krasner is at it again.

From NBC News in Philadelphia:

For his part, Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said the issue of ICE and its actions across the county boil down to one simple thing.

“This is ultimately about good versus evil. That’s what it is. It’s about good versus evil,” he said. “Renee Nicole Good is just part of that good and she is up against evil.”

He said that he’s heard stories of Americans calling police after they were shot by ICE agents. He also questioned what it meant when American citizens were calling for help from law enforcement to protect them from officers from their own government.

“What does it mean? It means that we are talking about good versus evil. We are talking about unchecked power,” Krasner said.

Like his fellow elected officials, Krasner vowed to fight oppression of the city’s residents. He also said that if he sees ICE operating in a fashion similar to the agent involved in the deadly Minnesota shooting, he would not hesitate to prosecute against a federal agent.

“We will arrest you. We will handcuff you. We will close those cuffs. We will put you in a cell. We will set your bail and I’m going to ask for it to be appropriately high,” said Krasner. “We will take you to trial and I’m going to do everything in my power to convict you and we will make sure you serve your entire sentence because Donald Trump has no power, whatsoever, to pardon you. That’s the way the law works.”

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche of the Trump DOJ had this response for Krasner:

These Twitter/X users also made good points about Krasner’s priorities:

You want to arrest ICE agents, but you dropped kidnapping and strangulation charges against Keon King, who ultimately murdered a young woman. pic.twitter.com/zj4K82Lp8M

We finally found a Soros-backed DA who wants to put people in prison…and of course they are LEOs. https://t.co/xQeCLOq7a0

Maybe Krasner should try focusing on going after real criminals. What a concept.
