Larry Krasner, the radical District Attorney of Philadelphia, threatened Wednesday to prosecute and jail any federal immigration officer accused of harming the city’s residents.
Krasner and a number of Democrat elected officials and community leaders gathered at Salt and Light Church in Philadelphia to discuss strategies to combat ICE activity in the city and in its court system.
Framing the issue as a battle of “good versus evil,” Krasner sent the following message to federal immigration enforcement: “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.”
Philadelphia’s newly infamous Sheriff Rochelle Bilal echoed Krasner’s message, promising to bring “smoke” to ICE agents if they think they can come to Philadelphia and enforce immigration law without the Sanctuary City’s permission.
