Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner held a press conference on Thursday and issued a stark warning to Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
Krasner told ICE agents who are in his city, or planning to come to his city, to “get the F out of here” if they were coming to “commit crimes.” Krasner’s press conference was in response to the death of Renee Nicole Good, who was shot after seemingly driving her car into an ICE agent in Minneapolis earlier this week. The press conference was somewhat unusual, given that the incident had no connection to Philadelphia whatsoever.
“Let me be clear,” Krasner said. “If any law enforcement agent — any ICE agent — is going to come to Philly to commit crimes, then you can get the F out of here. Because if you do that here, I will charge you with those crimes, you will be arrested, you will stand trial, you will be convicted — whether it’s in state or federal court, it’s my office prosecuting it, that’s how the law works — and you will do your time. Because Donald Trump cannot pardon you for a state court conviction.”
