Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner has crossed a dangerous line, threatening to "hunt down" Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in rhetoric so inflammatory that the Department of Homeland Security is now considering criminal charges against the radical prosecutor.
At an "ICE OUT" press conference this week, Krasner made the vile comparison between federal immigration officers and Nazis, claiming his office would pursue ICE agents "similar to the way they hunted down Nazis for decades." The comments have sparked nationwide outrage and calls for immediate action against the rogue DA.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin didn't mince words in her response, stating that Krasner is "intentionally stoking flames of hatred" at a time when assaults on ICE officers have already surged by a staggering 1,300 percent. The timing couldn't be worse - or more deliberate.
"VILE RHETORIC: Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner's threat to 'hunt down' ICE agents sparks criminal investigation calls," reported Fox News Politics, highlighting how the prosecutor's inflammatory language is putting federal officers' lives at risk.
Social media erupted with condemnation of Krasner's dangerous rhetoric. One observer called out the DA's hypocrisy: "Krasner is a man who loves crime and criminals in Philadelphia but when it comes to hating Trump (TDS) and law enforcement (DHS/ICE/CBP), his vicious fangs emerge as he leads a corrupt lawless cartel of leftist henchmen against lawful federal agents."
This isn't Krasner's first rodeo with anti-law enforcement rhetoric. The radical prosecutor has built his career coddling criminals while attacking the very officers trying to protect American communities from violent illegal aliens.
With President Trump's mass deportation operations ramping up across the nation, Krasner's inflammatory language represents a clear attempt to obstruct federal immigration enforcement and endanger the lives of ICE officers doing their jobs.
The question now is whether the Trump administration will allow this radical prosecutor to continue threatening federal agents with impunity, or if justice will finally catch up with Larry Krasner's reign of lawlessness in Philadelphia.
