Philadelphia’s top law enforcement officials have drawn a red line with the Trump administration after an ICE agent killed an activist protester this week during in Minneapolis.
In a Thursday press conference, Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner slammed President Donald Trump as the ‘criminal-in-chief,’ and vowed to prosecute any federal officers who commit crimes in the city.
Krasner said that widely circulated footage of the Minneapolis shooting of Renee Nicole Good showed that the ICE officer’s actions were unlawful and violated law enforcement protocols.
“Silence will not protect us from people who trade in violence to achieve their fascist goals. Our voices will,” Krasner said. “The law must apply to everyone, and therefore we have to use our voices to call out people who commit terrible crimes or justify them. We have to use our voices to remind people that it’s not just a question of what you can get away with. It’s a question of right and wrong.”
