From Bloomberg:
Philadelphia’s Top Prosecutor Is Prepared to Arrest Federal Agents
After Trump said he would send agents to more cities, Philly’s district attorney lays out how he might criminally charge federal officers.
In one of those cities, the city prosecutor has already preemptively warned Trump’s police forces what he will do if they bring the same tactics to Philadelphia:
“My dad volunteered and served in World War II to fight fascism, like most of my uncles, so we would not have an American president brutalizing and kidnapping Americans for exercising their constitutional rights and trying to make America a better place, which is what patriots do,” said Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner in a statement. “Anyone, including federal law enforcement, who unlawfully assaults and kidnaps people will face criminal charges from my office.”
First of all I’m getting really fucking disgusted with the rhetoric implying or calling federal Leo’s Nazis. It is absolutely grotesque.
Also, a lawful arrest in which a person is then taken and arraigned before a judge is not kidnapping.
But here we have a local prosecutor who wants to violate the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution to engage in political resistance.
These cities and states are getting dangerously close to secession.
I think the only thing that has stopped them is the sweet, sweet federal money they use for everything else.
