Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner threatened to arrest and prosecute federal ICE agents working at Philadelphia International Airport on Tuesday.

Krasner held a press conference at the airport as ICE agents arrived to assist overwhelmed Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers.

The deployment was ordered by President Trump to help ease long security lines and flight delays caused by severe staffing shortages at TSA checkpoints.

The partial government shutdown, caused by Democrats refusing to budge on DHS funding, is now in its 39th day. It has left TSA officers working without pay, and reports of 3,200 agents not showing up for their shifts on Monday alone, and another 458 who recently quit.

During his remarks, Krasner told reporters and the agents on site that he expects them to uphold the law while operating in Philadelphia.

“This is how it works — you commit crimes within the jurisdiction that is the city and county of Philadelphia, I prosecute you,” Krasner said. “That is how it works. No, I don’t take a phone call from the president saying ‘Let em go.’ No, the president cannot pardon you. I’ll say it again, the president cannot pardon you.”

Krasner escalated by bringing up the chaos caused by leftist agitators in Minneapolis, which resulted in two of them being killed during confrontations with agents.

“And yes, I will put you in handcuffs, and I will put you in a courtroom, and if necessary, I will put you in a jail cell if you decide to make the terrazzo floor of this floor anything like you did in the streets of Minneapolis, which involved the criminal homicide of unarmed, innocent people.”

Krasner doubled down in a video posted to X, stating: “To anyone who is an ICE agent, thank you for upholding the law and the Constitution of the United States. But if you don’t, you’re gonna find out.”

WATCH:

The ICE assistance at Philadelphia International Airport, part of a nationwide effort at 14 major hubs, has already been credited with reducing wait times, with some travelers describing the unmasked agents as professional, friendly, and helpful.

President Trump had specifically directed the agents not to wear masks while assisting TSA in order to speed up processing.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman

A man threw a Molotov cocktail at OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s San Francisco home on Friday morning.

The suspect was taken into custody.

Nobody was hurt.

According to OpenAI, the male suspect also made threats outside of its San Francisco headquarters very early Friday morning.

The suspect has not been identified.

Sam Altman has not released a statement on the incident.

NBC News reported:

San Francisco police early Friday arrested a person who allegedly threw a Molotov cocktail at OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman’s home and made threats outside the AI giant’s San Francisco headquarters, the company said in a statement.

“Thankfully, no one was hurt,” OpenAI said.

“We deeply appreciate how quickly SFPD responded and the support from the city in helping keep our employees safe. The individual is in custody, and we’re assisting law enforcement with their investigation,” the company added.

Altman has not publicly addressed the arrest.

In a separate statement, the San Francisco Police Department said officers responded to a home in the North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco around 4:12 a.m. PT Friday “regarding a fire investigation.”

The officers learned that an unknown man had thrown “an incendiary destructive device at a home, causing a fire to an exterior gate,” police said.

The suspect fled on foot, and his description was broadcast to all officers.

MUST WATCH: Senate Republicans Move to Lock in Full ICE and CBP Funding for Trump’s Entire Term by Bypassing Democrats Entirely

Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso discusses Republican plans to address a potential DHS shutdown during a live broadcast from Capitol Hill.

Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso discusses Republican plans to address a potential DHS shutdown during a live broadcast from Capitol Hill.

Senate Republicans are advancing a plan to fully fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) for the remainder of President Donald Trump’s term through budget reconciliation, a move that would require only a simple majority of 50 Republican votes plus Vice President JD Vance.

This means funding for the agencies will become immune to Democrat filibusters or shutdown threats.

The announcement came Thursday from Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, who confirmed he and Senate Budget Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham will meet with President Trump at the White House on Friday to finalize the framework.

Barrasso told Fox News, “I’ll be at the White House with Lindsey Graham…we’re going to be talking with the president specifically about funding ICE, Immigration Custom Enforcement, funding the Department of Homeland Security’s Border Patrol, and doing it not just for this year, but through the entire time that President Trump is still in the White House, and doing it with Republican votes alone.”

WATCH:

The plan uses the budget reconciliation process, which allows certain fiscal measures to pass with 51 votes in the Senate (or 50 plus the vice president) and bypass the 60-vote filibuster threshold.

Republicans aim to narrowly target funding for immigration enforcement agencies, as there are ongoing disputes over the broader Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding package.

The move follows weeks of deadlock over DHS appropriations from Democrats.

A partial DHS shutdown has dragged on for nearly two months, with Democrats refusing to support full funding for ICE and CBP without concessions on immigration policy.

Senate Republicans have repeatedly blocked Democrat attempts to fund most of DHS while excluding or limiting enforcement operations.

Barrasso emphasized that Democrats “aren’t interested in funding national security,” forcing Republicans to “go it alone” through reconciliation.

The plan would secure long-term funding for deportations, border security, and interior enforcement, which are all priorities of the Trump administration’s mass deportation agenda.

Barrasso did not specify a timeline for a floor vote, but GOP leaders will likely move quickly after the White House meeting.

The Gateway Pundit will continue tracking developments from the Senate Budget Committee and the White House.

Kamala Harris speaking at the National Action Network's 35th anniversary event, addressing social justice issues while seated on a blue chair.

Kamala Harris on Friday impersonated President Trump as a “mob boss.”

Harris, Pete Buttigieg, Senator Mark Kelly, and other high-profile Democrats and possible 2028 presidential hopefuls were in New York attending the National Action Network convention.

The event is being hosted by Al Sharpton.

“Two years out, we’ll see some of the people that have been thinking of running, and they’ll see us,” Al Sharpton told Politico.

Harris signaled she may run for president again.

Al Sharpton asked Kamala Harris if she would run for president in 2028 after she got trounced by President Trump in 2024.

“Listen. I might. I’m thinking about it,” Harris said.

“Let me also say this, I served for four years being a heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States,” she said. “I know what the job is, and I know what it requires.”

Harris continued on with her word salad.

“Look, the American people have the right to expect that anyone who wants to run for office and be a leader, that it can’t be about themselves and what they want for themselves has to be about the American people,” Kamala said.

“And that’s how I think of it and I am thinking about it in the context of… who and where and how can the best job be done for the American people?” she said.

“I’ll keep you posted,” Kamala added.

Kamala Harris then impersonated Trump as a “mob boss” as she criticized his foreign policy.

“And then he, Rev, kinda acts like a mob boss. So then he’s kind of like, ‘well, you know. You take Eastern Europe and I’ll take the Western Hemisphere and then you over there, you get Asia. And we’ll just divide it up,'” she said.
