SOROS DA DEFIES LAW: DOJ EXPLODES!

A stark contrast has emerged in Philadelphia, where District Attorney Larry Krasner appears to prioritize challenging federal law enforcement over prosecuting violent crime. His recent actions and statements have ignited a firestorm of criticism, raising questions about his commitment to public safety.

Krasner recently threatened to arrest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents simply for performing their legally mandated duties. This pledge, initially met with widespread ridicule, underscores a pattern of aggressively opposing those enforcing American immigration laws.

The situation escalated following a shooting incident involving ICE in Minneapolis, prompting Krasner to frame the issue in dramatic terms. He declared the conflict a battle of “good versus evil,” positioning ICE as the embodiment of that evil and portraying anyone opposing them as a force for good.

He recounted stories, without specific details, of American citizens allegedly seeking protection from ICE agents, questioning the implications of citizens needing to call law enforcement against their own government’s officers. This narrative fueled his assertion of unchecked power and a fundamental moral struggle.

Krasner didn’t stop at rhetoric. He vowed to personally pursue prosecution against any federal agent operating in a manner similar to the agent involved in the Minnesota shooting. His language was deliberately forceful, promising arrest, handcuffs, high bail, conviction, and a full prison sentence.

He even attempted to reassure citizens that any conviction would be immune to presidential pardon, emphasizing the perceived limitations of federal authority. This bold declaration was a direct challenge to the executive branch and its power.

The response from Todd Blanche, a former Deputy Attorney General, was succinct and defiant: “Go ahead and try.” This terse reply signaled a willingness to confront Krasner’s challenge and defend federal agents.

Critics have pointed to inconsistencies in Krasner’s approach to justice, highlighting cases where serious charges against violent offenders were dropped. One example cited involved Keon King, who was initially charged with kidnapping and strangulation, but ultimately murdered a young woman after those charges were reduced.

The core of the criticism centers on a perceived misplacement of priorities. Many argue that Krasner should focus on addressing the surge in violent crime within Philadelphia, rather than engaging in politically charged confrontations with federal agencies.

The situation has sparked a broader debate about the role of a district attorney and the proper balance between local autonomy and federal law. It raises fundamental questions about who Krasner views as the true “criminals” and what constitutes justice in his jurisdiction.
