Larry Krasner, Philadelphia's District Attorney, threatened to throw ICE agents deployed at the airport in jail if they make it look “anything like you did in the streets of Minneapolis” on Tuesday. Krasner issued his during a press conference at Philadelphia International Airport.
His statement came a day after Trump deployed ICE agents to several airports nationwide to help with long security lines during the ongoing government shutdown. Krasner warned ICE agents Trump cannot save them if they screw up in his town.
“This is how it works — you commit crimes within the jurisdiction that is the city and county of Philadelphia, I prosecute you. That is how it works. No, I don’t take a phone call from the president saying ‘Let 'em go.’ No, the president cannot pardon you. I’ll say it again, the president cannot pardon you,” said Krasner.
“And yes, I will put you in handcuffs and I will put you in a courtroom, and if necessary, I will put you in a jail cell if you decide to make the terrazzo floor of this floor anything like you did in the streets of Minneapolis, which involved the criminal homicide of unarmed, innocent people.”
