Philadelphia DA Warns ICE Agents: Officers Who Break the Law Will Face Arrest

(VINNews) – Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner issued a blunt warning Thursday to federal immigration officers, saying any ICE agent who commits a crime in his city will be arrested, prosecuted and convicted.

Krasner’s comments came in response to the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, 37, who was killed this week by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Video of the encounter shows Good driving away from immigration officers as they ordered her to exit her vehicle.

Federal officials, including President Donald Trump and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, have defended the officer’s actions, saying he feared for his life. Minnesota authorities have called for an investigation, and no charges have been filed.

But Krasner took a sharply different stance.

PHILLY DA Larry Krasner warns ICE agents in wake of the Minneapolis shooting: “If any law enforcement agent, any ICE agent is gonna come to Philly to commit crimes, then you can get the F out of here.”

“You will be arrested, you will stand trial, you will be convicted,” Krasner said at a news conference, referring to any law enforcement officer — including federal agents — who commits a crime in Philadelphia.

Standing with local officials, Krasner said he reviewed footage of the Minneapolis shooting and called the killing unlawful. He held up a photo of Good, observed a moment of silence, and accused federal leaders of spreading what he described as false narratives about the incident.

Krasner said that even if Good had blocked officers with her vehicle, that conduct would not justify the use of deadly force.

“There are honest and decent law-enforcement officers by the bushel,” he said. “This message is for anyone who thinks they are above the law.”

The progressive prosecutor added that any similar case in Philadelphia would be handled in state court, where presidential pardons would not apply — a direct warning to ICE agents operating in the city.

Krasner’s remarks are already resonating beyond Philadelphia, particularly in New York, where immigrant advocates and law-enforcement critics say the debate over accountability for federal officers is intensifying.
