“We Will Find You”: Democrat Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner Vows to Hunt Down ICE Agents for Decades Like Nazis Were Hunted

Democrat Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner spoke at an anti-ICE rally at City Hall Tuesday where he vowed to hunt down ICE agents “for decades” the way Nazis were after World War II.

Krasner said that he is teaming up with state prosecutors to deliver “accountability” to ICE agents enforcing the federal government’s immigration laws.

Democrats have been fomenting a domestic insurgency against the federal government since President Trump took office a year ago. The violent nationwide protests against Elon Musk and DOGE in the early months of the Trump administration have morphed into violent protests in Blue state cities against the enforcement of immigration laws egged on by Resistance Democrat governors, mayors and prosecutors.

THIS IS THE LEFT: Unhinged Liberal Pepper-Sprays and Assaults Conservative Journalist in Broad-Daylight Attack on Philadelphia Bus

A deranged liberal activist pepper-sprayed and physically assaulted conservative journalist riding a SEPTA bus in downtown Philadelphia this week.

Independent journalist Frank Scales of SurgePhilly posted a detailed account of the unprovoked assault on X, alleging that the attack began after he was simply looking out the window and minding his business.

In the video, Scales identified the woman as Paulina Reyes, describing her as a “known ANTIFA agitator.” Reyes is a former intern at WHYYNews.

According to the news outlet, they “knew each other while both served in student leadership positions at Community College of Philadelphia, evidenced by photographs and video that show them together.”

Throughout the confrontation, Reyes repeatedly accused Scales of being a fascist and a racist.

When Scales activated his phone to record the confrontation for his own safety, the woman lunged at his device, punched him over the head, and pepper-sprayed him in the face, all inside a moving city bus.

When Scales asked her directly why she believed that he is fascist and racist, the woman responded:

“You talk sht about Islamic people. You talk sht about Black people. You talk sh*t about Mexicans. And you post it on the internet.”

Ian McGinnis, co-founder of Surge Media, was also present and managed to grab the phone back and continue recording as the woman escalated her attack.

US attorney’s office looking into case of Philly woman stabbed 20 times and ruled suicide under then-AG Josh Shapiro: report

The federal government is now taking a fresh look into the 2011 death of Ellen Greenberg, A Philadelphia teacher woman who died after 20 stab wounds. Ten of those wounder were in the back of her neck and base of her head, but her death was ruled suicide.

According to sources that spoke to NBC10, the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania is interested in looking at the case. The federal government has requested documents related to her death, and obtained them last month, the outlet reported.

Greenberg, 27 at the time of her death, had 20 stab wounds to her front as well as back. The medical examiner had initially ruled that it was a homicide, but later ruled it a suicide and her death has remained that way on records since. Greenberg’s parents, however, have fought to reopen the case and have argued that she was murdered.

Greenberg was found dead by her fiance Sam Goldberg in the apartment they shared. A 10-inch blade was found sticking out of her chest. Her parents have long accused the local government and justice system of covering up a botched homicide investigation.

Fact-Checking All of the Mysteries Surrounding Donald Trump and Penn

t was, it can be said without fear of exaggeration, a day that will live in infamy. When President Donald Trump emerged from his mysterious one-on-one summit with Russian president Vladimir Putin in Helsinki in July of 2018, the respective visages and body language of the two world leaders could not have been further apart. The Russian president looked smug and sated, like a vampire with a bellyful of peasant blood; Trump looked like a man who’d just received a painful enema. Or, as grizzled, now-banished White House aide-de-camp Steve Bannon describes it in Siege, Michael Wolff’s decadent and depraved follow-up to 2018’s Trumpworld tell-all Fire And Fury, “like a beaten dog.”

Speculation within Trump’s inner circle was that Putin must have something on Trump. The pee tape? Evidence that Don Jr. tried to buy Hillary’s emails? His tax returns? Nah. As Bannon told Wolff, “nobody gives a fuck” about that stuff. But, he wondered, “What if they have his college transcript?”

Ahh, the college transcript. Trump famously graduated from Penn’s Wharton School in 1968 — a fact he reminds audiences of over and over again. (Per Penn’s student newspaper, the Daily Pennsylvanian, he publicly name-dropped Wharton 52 times between June 2015 and January 2018.) But despite all his humblebragging about that Wharton degree, Trump has never allowed his academic performance there to be made public.

“This was a major, major thing with Trump — that people might think he’s stupid,” Michael Wolff told me around the time of Siege’s publication earlier this summer. “The focus of that for Trump is the college transcripts, which are apparently terrible. I’ve spoken to friends of Trump from that time, and this was a guy that was obviously not interested in school and possibly never read a book in his life. For everyone that had known him then and years afterward, the assumption was that he had terrible grades, he was a lackluster student at best.”

In truth, Trump’s Wharton GPA is just one of many mysteries surrounding the 45th president’s relationship with Penn, Philadelphia’s most powerful private institution, which, unwittingly or not, helped unleash Trump on the world. Over the years, there have been rumors about how Trump might have gotten into Penn in the first place, and how much — or how little — he’s donated to the school as an alum. There are tales about Trump’s social life as a Penn undergrad — did he, in fact, have a fling with Candice Bergen? And there are stories — including one particularly juicy one — about the Penn careers of Trump kids Don Jr., Ivanka and Tiffany, all of whom followed in their old man’s red-and-blue footsteps.

Soros-Backed Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner Threatens ICE Agents With Arrest: ‘I Will Charge You With Those Crimes’

Larry Krasner is the George Soros-backed district attorney of Philadelphia. As you can probably imagine, Krasner doesn’t really prosecute many people. He is typically on the side of the criminals.

Unless the supposed criminals are ICE agents of course, then we get to meet Larry the tough guy.

Krasner recently threatened to arrest and prosecute ICE agents if they come to his city and commit crimes.

Breitbart News reports:

Soros-Linked Philadelphia District Attorney Threatens ICE Agents: ‘I Will Charge You with Those Crimes’

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania District Attorney Larry Krasner (D), linked to billionaire George and Alex Soros’s left-wing donor network, is threatening Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents with arrest and conviction if they “come to Philly to commit crimes.”

“If any law enforcement agent, any ICE agent, is going to come to Philly to commit crimes, they need to get the eff out of here,” Krasner said during a press conference. “Because if you do that here, I will charge you with those crimes, you will be arrested, you will stand trial, you will be convicted, whether it’s in state or federal court.”

He continued:

And you will do your time because Donald Trump cannot pardon you for a state court conviction. Do you hear me, ICE agents? Do you hear me, National Guard? Do you hear me, military? You’re going to jail if you commit crimes in the city of Philadelphia. You will be accountable. The law applies to all of you. And I know that there are honest, decent, moral law enforcement out there by the bushel, including at ICE. This is not for you. This is for any one of your colleagues who thinks they are above the law.

“You Don’t Want This Smoke”: Philly Sheriff, DA Threaten To Arrest ‘Fake Law Enforcement’ ICE Officers

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.”

Multiple Law Enforcement Organizations Launch Large-Scale Operation Targeting Drugs In Philly

In a big victory for Philadelphia—specifically Kensington residents—24 suspected members of the Weymouth Street Drug Trafficking Organization were arrested on Friday, resulting in the Justice Department announcing 33 indictments.

In addition to the 24 arrests, eight defendants were already in custody, and one remains at-large. The arrests were synchronized to simultaneously target suspected gang members and their affiliates in Puerto Rico, Delaware, and New Jersey.

Weymouth Street has long been known to harbor significant trafficking of Kensington’s open-air drug market—especially fentanyl, heroine, and cocaine which are the focus of many of the suspects’ charges.

Firearms violations will likely follow as the investigation continues—demonstrated in wretched images obtained by the DOJ depicting suspects brandishing weapons.

Stabbed 20 Times in Back of Neck and HeadOfficials Re-Confirm … Suicide

Ellen Greenberg’s 2011 death is officially ruled a suicide — again — the ruling coming after the Philadelphia Medical Examiner’s Office dug back in for a second look at the case in which a woman was found with multiple stab wounds in the back of her head and neck.

The ruling is sure to spark major controversy … Greenberg, a 27-year-old Philly teacher, was found dead by her fiancé in 2011 … she’d been stabbed 20 times in the back of her neck and head, with a knife protruding from her chest. Her death was initially ruled a homicide … but after a meeting with Philly PD, assistant Medical Examiner Dr. Marlon Osbourne determined she died by suicide.

Fast-forward to February 2025 … under pressure from Greenberg’s family, the medical examiner’s office revisited the case … and is maintaining the same manner of death.

Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Lindsay Simon re-examined the case and, in a 32-page report released Oct. 10, concluded, “while the distribution of injuries is admittedly unusual, the fact remains that Ellen would be capable of inflicting these injuries herself.”

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports Simon discovered 20 more bruises on Greenberg’s body, and three more “perforations in the skin” that hadn’t been documented in the original autopsy … but still ruled her death a suicide.

The decision is definitely stirring the pot again … people are asking the obvious — how does someone stab themselves over and over in the back and head and call it suicide?

TMZ reached out to the Medical Examiner for an explanation on how they think Ellen could’ve done it herself … so far, no word back.

Chinese Flag Raised Over Philadelphia

On September 30, the flag of China was raised over the birthplace of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. The flag was raised by Philadelphia’s Office of Immigrant Affairs to commemorate the founding of the Chinese Communist Party, in what was advertised as a harmless gesture of goodwill honoring the Chinese immigrant community.

Not surprisingly, the move drew sharp criticism, including from Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar (R-Mich.), who pointed out that the flag is not merely a national symbol, but represents China’s oppressive totalitarian regime, which not only broadly persecutes and oppresses its own citizens, but is America’s avowed enemy besides.

Honoring Diversity

The flag-raising ceremony, which has been done at least twice in the recent past, was approved by the Philadelphia Honors Diversity Flag Raising Program, which was established in 2018. According to Philadelphia City Solicitor Renee Garcia, speaking with Newsweek, “In accordance with First Amendment precedent, the City of Philadelphia’s flag-raising policy applies objective, viewpoint-neutral criteria, specifically, a foreign nation’s flag may be raised if the country maintains a Consulate or Embassy in the United States or is recognized by the U.S. Department of State. The People’s Republic of China meets both criteria.”

Disgrace to Our Values

Congressman Moolenaar, by contrast, said, “Raising the flag of the People’s Republic of China over Philadelphia is a disgrace to our nation’s founding values and flies in the face of all the courageous dissidents and human rights advocates who tirelessly work to bring freedom to the Chinese people.” And Rushan Abbas, advocate for China’s oppressed Uighurs, said that “Philadelphia, the birthplace of the U.S. Constitution, should not be used as a platform for authoritarian propaganda.”

Alas, these are the kinds of needless moral dilemmas that arise when we continue to allow our political and industrial leaders to have it both ways: to benefit economically from continued engagement with communist China, even as that regime continues to turn our own resources against us and works to subvert and destroy us. With the deadliest regime in human history, there can be no middle ground.

Two Former USPS Employees Indicted For Stealing $80 Million In Treasury Checks

Missing your tax return check and living near Philadelphia? We might have an idea of what’s gone wrong…

That’s because two former employees of the U.S. Postal Service in Philadelphia have been indicted for their roles in a scheme involving the theft of over $80 million in U.S. Treasury checks, the Department of Justice announced Wednesday.

According to federal prosecutors, Tauheed Tucker, 23, and Saahir Irby, 27, both previously employed as mail processing clerks at the USPS Philadelphia Processing and Distribution Center, are accused of stealing thousands of envelopes containing Treasury checks, according to NBC Philadelphia.

The indictment further alleges that Tucker and Irby sold the stolen checks to two other individuals—Cory Scott, 25, of Ardmore, and Alexander Telewoda, 25, of Clifton Heights. Scott and Telewoda are said to have advertised the checks for sale via the messaging app Telegram.

NBC Philadelphia writes that once payments were received from interested buyers, Scott and Telewoda allegedly mailed the checks out. According to prosecutors, those buyers then attempted to cash the checks, unaware they had been stolen.

Officials report that while the total face value of the stolen checks exceeded $80 million, approximately $11 million worth were successfully negotiated at banks by the buyers.

All four men—Tucker, Irby, Scott, and Telewoda—face charges including conspiracy to steal government funds, theft of government property, and mail theft. Each could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

In addition, Irby is facing separate charges of mail theft in connection with another incident involving stolen Treasury checks.
