Krasner, who created an Immigration Counsel position in 2018 to pursue &#8220;immigration-neutral&#8221; outcomes and reduce deportation risks for noncitizen defendants, has faced criticism after records obtained by critics showed his office consulting on cases involving serious offenses (including sexual assault, arson, homicide, aggravated assault, and firearm and drug-possession cases). He has long resisted cooperating with ICE, publicly clashed with federal immigration directives, and is among prosecutors who received major campaign support from donor George Soros. His office did not respond to a request for comment.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A Democratic prosecutor dedicated to helping illegal immigrant criminals avoid serious convictions is threatening to throw the book at federal immigration agents.<\/p>\n<p>Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner vowed to arrest and convict any Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who purportedly commits a crime under his jurisdiction.
