Overview
- District Attorney Larry Krasner said any ICE or federal officer who commits crimes in Philadelphia will be arrested, prosecuted, and convicted, adding that a presidential pardon cannot undo a state-court conviction.
- Sheriff Rochelle Bilal denounced ICE as “made-up, fake, wannabe law enforcement,” criticized masked operations, and warned agents they “don’t want this smoke.”
- The remarks came after ICE officer Jonathan Ross fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis during an enforcement operation, an incident captured on bystander video.
- Homeland Security and the White House assert the officer acted in self-defense, alleging the driver used her vehicle as a weapon; the officer has not been charged.
- Minnesota authorities say the FBI is leading the investigation, while Minneapolis and other local officials have pressed ICE to leave and questioned federal transparency.
