BREAKING: Philadelphia’s superstar Democratic District Attorney Larry Krasner lays out a brilliant playbook for arresting and prosecuting Donald Trump’s fascist ICE agents and troops as the MAGA crackdowns spiral out of control.
This plan even undermines the presidential pardon…
“If what you have is a group of ICE agents or you even have the military coming into Philadelphia and they’re committing crimes, they’re committing assaults that are illegal, homicides that are illegal, they’re kidnapping people, they’re engaging in unlawful restraint which is a crime in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania…” Krasner said.
“They’re obstructing the administration of justice…” he continued. “If you have people coming in — military, ICE, whoever it is — acting beyond their legal authority they can be prosecuted, assuming they commit crimes, in state court.”
“And they cannot be pardoned by the president which means that they get to tell a Philadelphia jury exactly why it is that they thought that they could invade this city and they get to bear the consequences whether they are handcuffs, a jury trial, or a jail sentence,” he concluded.
This is exactly the kind of hardline approach we need from all of our Democratic leaders. Trump and his minions are breaking the law at every turn and it’s time that we started holding them accountable. These masked ICE agents think that they’re above the law as they work to build a MAGA dystopia. They’re in for a rude awakening.
By prosecuting any lawbreakers on a state level, Democrats can circumvent the presidential pardon which has been irreparably corrupted by Trump. He demonstrated a willingness to abuse it for purely political purposes with his mass pardon of the January 6th insurrectionists. Any plan for fighting back against these Republican criminals must factor in that reality.
