Philadelphia's Top Prosecutor Is Prepared to Arrest Federal Agents

After numerous reports and lawsuits in Portland regarding un-badged and un-uniformed federal officers arresting, beating, and detaining people in unmarked vehicles, the Trump administration’s response is that they’re going to do it even more, and in more cities. Saying that his federal agents are doing a “fantastic job,” Trump has suggested that he will also deploy agents in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, Baltimore and Milwaukee to do the same.

In one of those cities, the city prosecutor has already preemptively warned Trump’s police forces what he will do if they bring the same tactics to Philadelphia:

“My dad volunteered and served in World War II to fight fascism, like most of my uncles, so we would not have an American president brutalizing and kidnapping Americans for exercising their constitutional rights and trying to make America a better place, which is what patriots do,” said Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner in a statement. “Anyone, including federal law enforcement, who unlawfully assaults and kidnaps people will face criminal charges from my office.”

Trump claims the federal intervention is needed due to excessive violence, particularly around federal statues and monuments. But legal experts have said the reported federal actions in Portland far exceed legal boundaries.

“[T]he use of a secret federal paramilitary force in Portland (and soon Chicago and likely other cities) is every bit the abuse of power that it appears to be,” legal scholar Elizabeth Goitein, of the Brennan Center for Justice, wrote on Twitter, noting that Trump’s claim of protecting federal property is pure pretext for his intent to have federal agents do the work of local police.

A clash between local and federal law enforcement over how to manage protesters in Philadelphia — if it comes to that — would be unprecedented.

So, that's the agenda. Don't stop looters and rioters, and then when federal forces are brought to bear because the local government won't do their job -- and in fact, *backs* the rioters -- call Trump a Nazi.

There’s a Supermax holding cell being prepared for this agent of Soros.

“My dad volunteered and served in World War II to fight fascism

Show us the paperwork.

[rintintin]

Sounds like the DA in Charleston SC when the Fort Sumter thing went down

“My dad volunteered and served in World War II to fight fascism, like most of my uncles, so we would not have an American president brutalizing and kidnapping Americans for exercising their constitutional rights and trying to make America a better place, which is what patriots do,” said Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner in a statement.

And I will do everything in my power to PROTECT THE FASCIST UPRISING IN OUR STREETS

[BenLurkin]

Is Krasner another Soros creature?

[freedumb2003]

If you ain’t tough enough to stop millenial punks, you ain’t gonna stop armed feds.

As for persecution, one word: immunity.

[Trump.Deplorable]

Just imagine what Trump could do if he had a fully functional DOJ and FBI that wasn’t trying to put his butt in jail for a alleged 1979 jay walking on 5th avenue?

“...My dad volunteered and served in World War II to fight fascism...”

How ironic..his son turned out to be a fascist!

[centurion316]

Next thing you know, they are going to be firing on Fort Sumter.

[shelterguy]

“””“Anyone, including federal law enforcement, who unlawfully assaults and kidnaps people will face criminal charges from my office.” “”””””

Good luck with that.

[glasseye]

‘legal experts’

Yea...right.

DACA case at SCOTUS

SCOTUS gave President Trump some amazing powers

Go ahead, Make the Presidents day

[MtnClimber]

The left are trying for a confrontation. Trump should make it so forceful that no one ever tries this again.

[Balding_Eagle]

If those units of government were working we wouldn’t have a President Trump, as he would have realized he did not need to run for president.

[rockrr]

Time to call in a firestrike?

[Major Matt Mason]

These morons don't even know what the word means, they just throw it around to virtue-signal. But Trump is exposing them all the same as they clearly aren't willing to deal with the problems in their backyard.

[arthurus]

That would be worthy of a whole camera crew and stirring background music.
