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.

His comments are so stupid, they are pathetic.
who in his government will arrest Federal Agents? His local police will probably link arms with them.
These city “leaders” have absolutely no idea how much the citizens they are sworn to protect are hating their guts right now.
Yeah that won’t fly
Bet the police don’t follow that order
I do t think the feds wil accept that offer.
It wil be declined qute sharply. And local authorities may well be arested instead.
STOP!
I need a half hour to go out and get some popcorn cache reinforcement material.
Gee, will it come down to a shootout?
Total Big Picture bump...
Well Done.
because he seems to have judged Trump guilty already and the seditious BLM rioters are already innocent, no wonder he is "top" prosecutor
I never realized that looting and arson were our constitutional rights or maybe those are special rights for black people.

Philadelphia’s Top Prosecutor = Another Soros Puppet
“...trying to make America a better place, which is what patriots do,”
Scouts inbound for body count...
Cav-Ho....Scouts out!
That is all...
This would be a farce if not so deadly serious.
We never should have allowed a city to declare itself “sanctuary” and refuse to obey federal law and defy federal authorities. Just should have ended that. Eisenhower sent troops when southern areas used massive resistance and defiance of integration laws passed. He wasn’t called a kidnapper or a criminal. Eisenhower didn’t let it go by.
Trump was too nice earlier and look what it got him. Women voters still think he’s a meanie.
I particularly go ballistic when I hear Pelosi pontificate about being a Catholic (baby killer version) and her sworn duty as a leader to prosecute Trump in the impeachment to protect our Constitution (!!), followed by little twerps like this guy calling federal troops and the President “kidnappers” and invoking the memory of his dead old man who fought for America. America is going down the drain because of you two and more like you.
Hypocrites.
That’s a fantasy. People 1do what they are told to do to keep getting their checks.
And at this point so many cops are turning their eyes to crime that they are numb to what is going on.
It amazes me how THROUGHOUT history people are just saying they were following orders but people here never learn
The best way to deal with that and minimize the chance of violence is to bring in overwhelming force.
Show us the paperwork.
More likely he volunteered for the Lincoln Batallion in the Spanish Civil War.
I think CW2 has begun. Never thought I’d see it in my lifetime but here we go.
Philadelphia’s top prosecutor prepared to get his brains blown out when he tries.
