“Trump cannot pardon you!" Philly's hero DA Larry Krasner issues a BRUTAL warning to ICE agents that "I will put you in HANDCUFFS" if they abuse people at the Philly airport!
Philadelphia's badass District Attorney Larry Krasner showed up at the airport today and delivered a blunt, no-nonsense warning to federal ICE agents as Trump threatens to flood airports with them for mass arrests and “security.”
Krasner wasn’t messing around: “This is how it works. You commit crimes within the jurisdiction that is the city and county of Philadelphia, I prosecute you. No, I don’t take a phone call from the president saying let him go. No, the president cannot pardon you. I’ll say it again, the president cannot pardon you.”
“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,” he said. “If you decide to make the terrazzo floor of this airport anything like what you did in the streets of Minneapolis, which involved the criminal homicide of unarmed innocent people, we are not having that here.”
“To any agent who might think about doing it an illegal way, I’ll be seeing you in court and you’re not gonna like it.”
This is a powerful stand against Trump’s plan to turn airports into deportation zones and unleash ICE without accountability. Krasner is drawing a hard line: federal agents don’t get a free pass to break the law in Philadelphia, and Trump’s pardon power stops at the city limits.
