Philly DA Larry Krasner Taunts House Republicans in Washington After Getting a Subpoena
The committee says Krasner missed earlier requests and set a July 29 deadline as it presses Philadelphia over sanctuary policy records.
- On Wednesday, The House Judiciary Committee subpoenaed Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, demanding documents about his office's handling of immigration matters and alleging "pro-illegal-alien policies."
- Chairman Jim Jordan initiated the demand after Krasner's office allegedly failed to produce a "single responsive document" since the committee requested information on May 4 regarding the office's "preferential treatment" of undocumented immigrants.
- Dismissing the subpoena as a "nastygram," Krasner demanded a public hearing, accusing the committee of "authoritarian efforts to do dirt in the dark" to pressure progressive prosecutors.
- On Thursday, Krasner rallied with other local prosecutors on Capitol Hill, declaring that "none of us are backing down" against the committee's legal maneuvers.
- The Committee set a July 29 deadline for document production, asserting authority to amend statutes ensuring prosecutors cannot circumvent federal immigration law.
