As RedState’s Ben Smith reported earlier Wednesday, the noxious, woke George Soros-backed district attorney for Philadelphia, Larry Krasner, called United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents “wannabe Nazis” and threatened to arrest them if he didn’t like their behavior.
At a wide-ranging White House briefing, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called his comments “disgraceful.”

Damn, she’s good. She just obliterated the criminal-loving DA:
Arrest them for what?!
He's talking to the ICE agents who are handing out water bottles and are helping people move through lines at airports.
It's a disgraceful comment.
The men and women of ICE are great people. I would encourage this lawmaker, whose name I don't know and don't care to know, to actually sit down and speak with the ICE agents who are on the ground doing this important work, not just in our nation's airports, but again, to remove violent, dangerous, illegal alien criminals from our country to protect this individual, and all of us in this room, and Americans across the country from murderers, pedophiles, and rapists who have been allowed into our country by Democrat politicians.
Satisfying.
Leavitt hit many topics during the briefing, including the conflict in Iran, the Schumer partial government shutdown, and the murder of 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman in Chicago by an illegal alien. She also announced that President Trump’s postponed trip to China has now been rescheduled:
.@PressSec: "I'm pleased to announce that @POTUS' long-awaited meeting with President Xi in China will now take place in Beijing on May 14th and 15th. @FLOTUS and @POTUS will also host President Xi and Madame Peng for a reciprocal visit in Washington, D.C. at a later date, to be… pic.twitter.com/WFXTjPd3Ya

As for the senseless murder of Gorman, the young college student, Leavitt asked the salient question: how many more Americans must die due to senseless Democrat policies?
.@PressSec on the murder of 18-year-old Sheridan Gorman in Chicago: "The suspect in custody for murdering her is a Venezuelan illegal alien who was caught and released at the border by the Biden Admin... How many more Americans have to die before the Democrats end this madness?" pic.twitter.com/NFjTfSytN2

Leavitt also shot down mainstream media rumors about the president and VP JD Vance not seeing eye to eye on national security issues. JD is still his “right-hand man,” she said:
.@PressSec: "The @VP has always been the President's right-hand man and a key member of the President's national security team... The @VP has been by the President's side every step of the way, and any reporting otherwise is just completely false." pic.twitter.com/HzU7IqAzxD

There was plenty more to this briefing, which can be viewed in full here, but another important moment came when Leavitt reminded the Democrats and the American people of the damage they’re doing with their Schumer partial government shutdown and their unwillingness to fund the Department of Homeland Security:
.@PressSec on day 40 of the Democrat shutdown of @DHSgov:

"A father of 3 recently told CBS News that he felt he had no other choice but to quit his job as a TSA officer and find other work as the Democrats' shutdown of DHS continues."

Leavitt continues to prove that she’s not someone to be trifled with, and unlike her predecessors, Biden spox Karine Jean-Pierre and Jen Psaki, has a full command of the issues. Mess with her at your own peril.
Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will determine the fate of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must maintain control of both chambers of Congress.
