Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner promised to criminally charge any federal agents who unlawfully assault or kidnap Black Lives Matter protesters in the City of Brotherly Lov
Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents operating under the direction of Acting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Chad Wolf have been accused of rounding up protesters and whisking them away in unmarked vans since at least July 12 in Portland, Oregon.
The self-styled progressive prosecutor made clear that his warning was meant to apply specifically to law enforcement keen to reprise the Portland method in Philadelphia. The DAs office framed its broadside as a direct response to President Donald Trumps verbiage claiming he may deploy federal law enforcement to American cities including Philadelphia.
