Larry Krasner, the venom-spewing George Soros-backed Philadelphia district attorney, is special. He’s threatened to “hunt down” ICE agents and called them wannabe Nazis, even as neighborhoods in his own city have turned into zombie zones full of people blasted on animal tranquilizers. In other words, your typical Democrat DA.
He also stands accused of favoring illegal aliens over American citizens and basing criminal charges on perps’ immigration status. That is, at least, according to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (OH-04), who wants answers:
Jordan requests Philadelphia officials turn over information on city's sanctuary policieshttps://t.co/OWQIgHuCeU
— Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) May 5, 2026
Jordan fired off letters to multiple PA officials Monday, ripping them for putting their thumbs on the scales of justice and discriminating against the very citizens they’re supposed to serve. In other words, if you’re here illegally, Krasner et al. will look the other way when you commit “quality of life” crimes and will be lenient as long as you don’t commit mass murder:
The letters were sent to Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel and Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal.
Jordan claimed Krasner's office for the past decade has openly given preferential treatment to illegal migrants based on their immigration status by believing "low-level and nonviolent crimes should not lead to deportation" or automatically risk their status.
"Even in cases involving murder or crimes against minors, a prosecutor in Krasner's office may still consider a criminal alien's potential deportation or other immigration consequences in making prosecution decisions to favor an illegal alien," the House Judiciary Committee said in a press release.
Don’t do anything too heinous, and we’ll let things slide — as long as you’re not an American citizen.

Fanning the Flames of Violence: Soros-Backed DA Says He Will 'Hunt Down' 'Wannabe Nazi' ICE Agents
Jordan alleges that the odious flame-throwing DA is not the only culprit in Philly shielding illegal alien criminals; the sheriff’s department and the police department are in on the game too:
"The shielding of criminal aliens from immigration enforcement in Philadelphia undermines public safety and thwarts the efficient enforcement of federal law," it added.
The chairman also claimed that the sheriff's office has obstructed federal law enforcement from making "safe immigration arrests" at multiple places in Philadelphia, including its courthouse.
The police department has allegedly failed to comply with Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers for years, including ignoring a detainer for an illegal migrant who had been arrested for "aggravated assault, strangulation, reckless endangering, and criminal mischief."
How is this guy a “prosecutor” when his main goal in life seems to be attacking federal law enforcement and letting criminals back out on the streets?

DA Krasner's office has openly given preferential treatment to illegal aliens based solely on their immigration status for nearly a decade.
Instead of complying with simple ICE detainers, Democrat-run Philadelphia chooses to put criminal aliens over American citizens.
Jordan is demanding that documents and communications between the offices concerning ICE be turned over by 5 p.m. Eastern on May 18.
Strongly-worded letters are one thing, but Trump’s Justice Department has shown they’re not afraid to throw their weight around when they see potential criminal wrongdoing. We'll have to wait and see if Jordan is able to produce the goods.
Krasner has been a pox on Philadelphia for years now, and it’s time he’s held to account.
Editor’s Note: The American people overwhelmingly support President Trump’s law and order agenda.
