Philly Soros DA Larry Krasner vows to 'hunt down' ICE agents 'the way they hunted down Nazis'

Outside Philadelphia City Hall on Tuesday, District Attorney Larry Krasner called ICE a "small bunch of wannabe Nazis," and stated he would "hunt down" ICE agents "the way they hunted down Nazis" to "achieve justice."

"This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis, that’s what they are, in a country of 350 million. We outnumber them," Krasner said, later adding, "If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities, we will find you, we will achieve justice." 

The comments came during the unveiling of legislation from City Councilmembers-At-Large Rue Landau and Kendra Brooks that would place restrictions in ICE’s activities in the city, per City and State Pennsylvania. 

The legislation would block federal agents from wearing face masks, using unmarked vehicles, or other methods of concealing their identities; restrict the agency’s access to the personal data of city residents; block ICE activity on city property, including the use of public spaces as staging grounds for raids; and codifying the existing practices that restrict collaboration between ICE and city employees such as law enforcement.

Brooks said, "This legislation sends clear messages. One, we want ICE out of the shadows…We want ICE out of city-owned property…We want ICE out of our data."

This comes after Krasner said he would not hesitate to prosecute ICE agents. "We will arrest you. We will handcuff you. We will close those cuffs. We will put you in a cell. We will set your bail and I'm going to ask for it to be appropriately high. We will take you to trial and I'm going to do everything in my power to convict you, and we will make sure you serve your entire sentence because Donald Trump has no power, whatsoever, to pardon you. That's the way the law works."
