Sheriff Calls ICE "Fake, Made up Law Enforcement"

Sheriff Rochelle Bilal pledged to detain and prosecute ICE agents committing crimes in Philadelphia, with District Attorney Krasner assuring convictions for such offenses.

  • On Thursday, Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal vowed to prosecute federal officers who commit crimes in Philadelphia, issuing the warning at a public press conference with city officials condemning ICE tactics.
  • After the Jan. 7 killing in Minneapolis, veteran ICE deportation officer Jonathan Ross shot Renee Nicole Good, 37-year-old Minneapolis woman, sparking national scrutiny and local calls for ICE accountability.
  • Criticizing tactics, Bilal noted `No law enforcement professional wears a mask` and called ICE agents `made-up, fake, wannabe law enforcement`, warning criminals will not hide.
  • Philadelphia police will enforce District Attorney Larry Krasner's directive to detain ICE agents who provoke illegal actions, while Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal vowed deputies will arrest and prosecutors charge any federal agents breaking state law.
  • The development broadens a national clash between the Trump administration and Democrat-led cities as Trump administration officials said Ross acted in self-defense, but Minnesota leaders rejected that, and the FBI led by Kash Patel probes the case.
