Philly DA says he will ‘hunt down’ ICE, and he is not alone

I simply cannot believe we are at a time and place in this country where federal agents are being openly threatened, and half the country appears to be okay with it.

ICE agents are being refused service, gasoline, and other agencies are being mistaken for ICE, often suffering the same attacks.

But nothing is worse than a top prosecutor threatening to hunt you down and expose not only the agent, but also agents’ family members, putting them all at risk.

Confused

I read a report this week that Air Marshals were mistaken for being ICE agents at a local restaurant, and they were chased out.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirmed that three marshals were at a restaurant in Lynwood when someone at the restaurant identified them as immigration agents, chasing them all out.

TSA, the agency that oversees air marshals, stated, "Last night in Los Angeles County, TSA employees were accosted by a mob while dining at a restaurant in Lynwood, California. The mob believed these TSA officials were ICE agents. They were not."

Now, the restaurant is getting pummeled with bad reviews as well as being threatened with boycotts for daring to allow federal agents to dine there.

Denied service

Just a few weeks ago, a story surfaced where agents were denied service at a Hilton-linked property. Hilton actually took the flag from the property, which will likely put the hotel out of business.

Now there are reports that gas stations have refused to allow agents to gas up. When the attendant was asked why he refused to serve the agents, he responded, “Because I wanted to. I don’t support ICE and nobody here does."

Former Assistant U.S. Attorney for North Florida Zack Smith stated, "It’s shameful conduct to try to penalize men and women who are going out, day in and day out, seeking to enforce federal… law, seeking to penalize them and refusing to provide them services.”

He continued, "We've seen this in the past, particularly when a lot of emotions were high in the aftermath of George Floyd's death in Minneapolis, in other places where individuals were refusing service to law enforcement."

Now, the truly awful

Democrats all over the country are using this anti-ICE movement to score points, and that would include Soros-backed Democratic prosecutor Larry Krasner of Philadelphia.

I grew up in this city, and I left because it became an armpit. The last time I went there, it was because my sister was having surgery, and I could not believe how much further the city had fallen.

Yet, here was Krasner, getting slapped on the back for standing up to ICE and threatening to dox them, calling them "a small bunch of wannabe Nazis," adding, "if we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities."

This is why agents are on edge, and this is why attacks against agents are up more than 1,000% over the previous year. Democrats have the horde convinced that Trump is Hitler and ICE is the Gestapo. Trust me… the bloodshed is not over yet. Dems will not be happy until they have bodies stacked to the ceiling, all so they can regain power in Congress and take back the White House.
