Philadelphia County District Attorney Lawrence Krasner was slammed by the White House Wednesday after he brazenly threatened to arrest and jail ICE agents at airports — warning that even a pardon from President Trump wouldn’t protect them.
The George Soros-backed Democrat unleashed the wild threat at Philadelphia International Airport days after Trump deployed ICE officers to at least 14 airports nationwide to assist TSA agents and help reduce the grueling lines that have plagued travelers amid the partial government shutdown.
“The president cannot pardon you 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 airport anything like what you did in the streets of Minneapolis,” the lefty pol said on Tuesday.
“My job is to enforce the law: so this is how that works — because I know there have been efforts to confuse you, including by the Vice President of the United States. This is how it works.
You commit crimes within the jurisdiction that is the city and county of Philadelphia, I prosecute you.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Levitt shot back on Wednesday, labeling the threat as a “disgraceful comment.”
“He’s talking to the ICE agents who are handing out water bottles and are helping people move through lines at airports,” Levitt said.
“It’s a disgraceful comment. The men and women of ICE are great people.”
