"Krasner stated, 'This is how it works: you commit crimes within the jurisdiction that is the city and county of Philadelphia, I prosecute you.' He emphasized that he does not take calls from the president to let offenders go, asserting, 'No, the president cannot pardon you.'"
"Krasner warned ICE agents, '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.'"
"In a follow-up video, Krasner addressed ICE agents, saying, 'To anyone who is an ICE agent, thank you for upholding the law and the Constitution of the United States. But if you don't, you're gonna find out.'"
Larry Krasner, the Philadelphia District Attorney, threatened to jail ICE agents if they misbehave at the airport. His warning followed President Trump's deployment of ICE agents to assist with security during a government shutdown. Krasner emphasized that he would prosecute anyone committing crimes in Philadelphia, regardless of presidential influence. He reiterated that the president cannot pardon them and vowed to take action against any misconduct. Despite Krasner's stance, some travelers expressed comfort with the presence of ICE agents, noting their friendly demeanor.
