Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner (D) 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 stern warning in front of cameras and reporters at Philly’s airport.

His tough talk came a day after President Donald Trump deployed ICE agents to several airports nationwide to help with long security lines during the ongoing government shutdown. Krasner told the 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.

The DA continued, “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.” He then doubled down on his comments in a video posted to X on Wednesday.

Philly DA Larry Krasner threatens ICE agents working at the airport with arrest:

"The president cannot pardon you. I will put you in handcuffs. And if necessary, I will put you in a jail cell."

Krasner was promising to hunt down ICE agents like Nazis a couple of months ago.
