Transportation Security Administration (TSA) personnel have not yet been paid because of the ongoing partial government shutdown. President Donald Trump decided to fill airports with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to staff airports in the country. A Philadelphia District Attorney warned agents against unruly behavior, threatening legal action should any civilian be harmed.
“This is how it works: you commit crimes within the jurisdiction that is the city and county of Philadelphia, I prosecute you. That is how it works,” Atty. Larry Krasner warned on national television. “No, I don’t take a phone call from the president saying, ‘Let him go.’ No, the president cannot pardon you. I’ll say it again: the president cannot pardon you,” Krasner reasserted.
