Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner claimed that his office will charge federal law enforcement officers with criminal offenses if they unlawfully assault or unlawfully arrest anyone in the city, which has seen an uptick in crime and shootings in recent years.

In a statement this week, Krasner, a Democrat, suggested that President Donald Trump’s administration is engaging in fascist practices by deploying federal law enforcement to make arrests.
