费城郡地方检察官劳伦斯·克拉斯纳(Lawrence Krasner)批评特朗普政府派遣美国移民海关执法局(ICE)特工前往机场协助美国运输安全管理局(TSA)官员,而这些TSA官员因国土安全部(DHS)民主党迫使资金停摆已数周未获薪资。
克拉斯纳是民主党人,其竞选活动曾获得与左翼匈牙利裔美国亿万富翁乔治·索罗斯(George Soros)相关的资金支持。数月以来,他一直批评唐纳德·特朗普总统和国土安全部的移民执法措施,并曾威胁称,如果宾夕法尼亚州出现类似明尼苏达州的情况,他将“追捕”他认为违反城市法律的ICE特工。
周二,克拉斯纳在机场发表讲话时表示,特朗普政府官员试图混淆公众和特工自身对合法行为与非法行为的认知。
克拉斯纳称,他不会接受美国总统唐纳德·特朗普打来的任何要求宽大处理的电话:

“总统不能赦免你,是的,我会把你戴上手铐,把你带到法庭,如果有必要,如果你决定把这个机场的水磨石地面弄得像明尼阿波利斯街头发生的事情一样,我会把你关进监狱。”克拉斯纳对特工们说道。
他声称,这一情况涉及“手无寸铁的无辜者的刑事杀人案”,而费城不会接受此类行为。
“我的职责是执法:这就是运作方式——因为我知道有人试图混淆你们,包括美国副总统。这就是运作方式。如果你在费城和费城郡的管辖范围内犯罪,我会起诉你。”
副总统JD·万斯(JD Vance)拒置评。然而,当克拉斯纳站在一幅“Wooder Ice”壁画前录制视频信息时,白宫抨击了他的言论。
在不祥的音乐背景下,克拉斯纳表示,费城人喜欢“水冰(Water Ice)”,因为它“不违法,也不会在机场打扰我们”。“快速响应47”小组称克拉斯纳的视频“病态且精神错乱”,并补充道:“如果你不喜欢这样,拉里,告诉你的民主党同僚给国土安全部拨款。”
克拉斯纳在机场讲话中还指出,国土安全部内部有守法的特工。
民主党破坏了机场安全。现在他们称解决方案危险
克拉斯纳声称,ICE在机场及其他地方的存在让外国人望而却步。
他表示,该市在6月因国际足联世界杯(FIFA World Cup)取消了2000间酒店客房,他从苏格兰球迷那里得知,他们因高油价、高机票价格以及担心自己的口音会成为ICE特工的目标而选择留在国内。
“有苏格兰足球迷因害怕自己的口音被听到,担心会受到机场ICE特工的刁难而不愿来这里,他们以前从未经历过这种情况。这直接打击了国际足联和所有相关城市的经济,也直接打击了费城。”
“这只是总统为破坏我们经济所做的又一件事。我希望他不要这么做。话虽如此,我不能责怪遵守命令、来到这里并站在角落里无所事事的ICE特工,”他称ICE作为TSA特工的工作“愚蠢但合法”。
克拉斯纳发表上述言论之际,其他民主党高层人士也抨击了ICE在机场的存在,包括一名参议员称人们将因他们而死亡。
“机场的ICE特工只会加剧延误和排队——扰乱检查、盘问旅客、将父母与孩子分开、拘留公民、虐待家庭、开枪甚至杀人,”康涅狄格州参议员理查德·布卢门撒尔(Richard Blumenthal)在X平台上写道。
“全国各地社区中,戴面具的身份不明特工的残忍、无法无天的战术司空见惯,他们侵犯基本权利——这无助于TSA或旅客。”他继续说道。
纽约州众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯(Hakeem Jeffries)补充称,美国民众最不需要的就是未经培训的ICE特工被部署到全国各地的机场,他们可能会对民众进行虐待或在某些情况下杀害民众。
“我们已经看到了ICE的运作方式,”杰弗里斯继续说道。“大多数情况下,他们对目前的工作缺乏培训,更不用说将他们部署到全国各地机场的高度敏感环境中了。”

Philadelphia County District Attorney Lawrence Krasner criticized the Trump administration for dispatching ICE agents to airports to assist TSA officers who have gone unpaid for weeks amid a Democrat-forced funding lapse at the Department of Homeland Security.
Krasner, a Democrat whose campaigns received funds tied to left-wing Hungarian-American billionaire George Soros, has criticized President Donald Trump and DHS for months over their immigration enforcement measures and previously threatened to “hunt down” ICE agents he believed violated city laws if there were to be a Minnesota-style situation in Pennsylvania.
On Tuesday, Krasner spoke from the airport, saying Trump administration officials have tried to confound the public and agents themselves as to what is legal behavior and what is not.
Krasner said he will not accept any phone calls from President Donald Trump asking for leniency:
IGNORED ICE DETAINERS ‘PUT LIVES AT RISK,’ DHS SAYS, TARGETING NEWSOM, PRITZKER, HEALEY

“The president cannot pardon you and yes I will [put you in handcuffs], and I will put you into a courtroom, and if necessary, I will you put you a jail cell if you decide to make the terrazzo floor of this airport anything like what you did in the streets of Minneapolis,” Krasner said, addressing agents.
He claimed that situation involved “the criminal homicide of unarmed, innocent people” and that Philadelphia would not accept such actions.
“My job is to enforce the law: so this is how that works — because I know there have been efforts to confuse you, including by the Vice President of the United States. This is how it works. You commit crimes within the jurisdiction that is the city and county of Philadelphia, I prosecute you.”
Vice President JD Vance declined to comment. But, the White House lambasted separate comments from Krasner as he stood in front of a “Wooder Ice” mural for a video message.
Backed by ominous music, Krasner said Philadelphians enjoy Water Ice because it “doesn’t break the law [nor] bother us at an airport.” The “Rapid Response 47” team called Krasner’s video “sick and deranged,” adding, “If you don’t like it, Larry, tell your fellow Democrats to fund DHS.”
Krasner also noted during his airport remarks that there are law-abiding agents within DHS ranks.

“I have a message for the good people, and there are a lot of good people [in] ICE… Keep your oath. Uphold the United States Constitution. Uphold the laws. It does not matter whether I personally approve of policies that you are following,” Krasner began, adding he believes DHS’ “mass deportations” are “immoral.”
“To any agent who might think of doing in an illegal way, I’ll be seeing you in court and you’re not going to like it because a Philly jury is not going like what you did if it is illegal.”
When a reporter appeared to mention that the city cannot instruct ICE agents, Krasner said he is not suggesting Immigration and Naturalization Services (INS) agents or ICE should not be present in Philadelphia, but that there appears to be “sort of an escalation” in the novel concept of using ICE to do the work of TSA.
DEMOCRATS BROKE AIRPORT SECURITY. NOW THEY’RE CALLING THE SOLUTION DANGEROUS
Krasner claimed ICE’s presence at airports and elsewhere has given foreigners cold feet.
He said the city saw 2,000 hotel rooms canceled for FIFA’s World Cup in June, and that he heard from Scottish fans that they would stay home because of high gas prices, airline ticket prices and the idea that their brogue could make them a target for ICE agents.

“There are Scottish soccer fans who do not want to come here for fear their accent will be overheard and they’re going to get a bunch of grief from ICE agents in the airports, which they’ve never experienced before. This is a direct economic hit to FIFA and all the cities where it applies. This is a direct economic hit to the city of Philadelphia.”
“It is just one more thing that this president is doing to basically wreck our economy. I wish he wouldn’t do it. Having said that, I cannot blame an ICE agent who is following orders, has come here and is standing in the corner, basically doing nothing,” he said, calling ICE’s work as TSA agents “stupid but lawful.”
Krasner’s comments come as other top Democrats have lambasted ICE’s presence in airports, including remarks from one senator who claimed people will die because of them.
“ICE agents at airports will only aggravate delays & lines — disrupting checks, interrogating travelers, dragging parents from children, detaining citizens, brutalizing families, shooting & even killing,” Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal wrote on X.

“Brutal, lawless tactics common in communities across the country by masked, unidentified agents, violating basic rights — no way to help TSA or travelers,” he continued.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York added separately that the last thing “the American people need is for untrained ICE agents to be deployed at airports all across the country, potentially to brutalize or in some instances kill them.”
“We have already seen how ICE conducts itself,” Jeffries continued. “These are untrained individuals when it comes to doing the current job they have, for the most part, let alone deploying them in close proximity in highly sensitive situations at airports across the country,” the East New York lawmaker added.
