Philadelphia’s District Attorney Larry Krasner has suggested an effective playbook—
We should arrest rogue ICE agents at the state level, which would shield them from a presidential pardon.
This is the kind of hardline approach we need from our Democratic leaders.

worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news.

I recall years ago, when I worked in Law Enforcement there was a DOJ standing order that if you accepted a gift of any kind including a meal, tickets to a game or anything of value you will be charged with accepting a bribe and will be prosecuted vigorously, but accepting $400M is now O-F..king-K.
