“If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice.”
That’s Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner. A sitting prosecutor. Talking about federal law enforcement officers.
Read it again. Let it sink in.
A man with the power to charge people with crimes just threatened to “hunt down” federal agents like Nazi war criminals.
The Full Quote
Krasner was raging outside City Hall on Tuesday, promoting legislation called “ICE OUT” that would further cement Philadelphia’s sanctuary status.
Here’s what he said:
“This is a small bunch of wannabe Nazis. That’s what they are. In a country of 350 million, we outnumber them. If we have to hunt you down the way they hunted down Nazis for decades, we will find your identities. We will find you. We will achieve justice.”
Hunt them down. Find their identities. Find them. Achieve justice.
That’s not political rhetoric. That’s a threat. From a district attorney. Against federal law enforcement officers doing their jobs.
The Nazi Hunter Fantasy
Notice the specific comparison Krasner chose.
He didn’t compare himself to civil rights activists. He didn’t invoke peaceful resistance. He invoked Nazi hunters — the people who tracked down war criminals for execution or imprisonment.
Simon Wiesenthal spent his life hunting men who committed genocide. The Mossad kidnapped Adolf Eichmann and brought him to Israel to hang.
That’s the comparison Krasner wants. He’s fantasizing about treating ICE agents the way the world treated men who operated death camps.
This isn’t hyperbole. This is explicit. He said the words. He made the comparison. He promised to hunt them down.
Who Is Larry Krasner?
Krasner is one of the most notorious Soros-backed prosecutors in America.
George Soros poured money into his campaigns. In return, Krasner delivered exactly what Soros wanted: a district attorney who treats criminals as victims and law enforcement as the enemy.
Under Krasner, Philadelphia’s murder rate exploded. Violent crime soared. Criminals walked free while police were hamstrung.
He’s been called the most pro-criminal prosecutor in the country. He’s refused to pursue charges against rioters. He’s let violent offenders plea down to nothing. He’s made Philadelphia a paradise for lawbreakers.
And now he’s threatening federal agents.
The “ICE OUT” Legislation
The bill Krasner was promoting tells you everything about where Philadelphia Democrats want to go.
It would bar ICE agents from using city-owned property. No cooperation between city agencies and federal immigration authorities. No data sharing. No access to public facilities — libraries, shelters, health centers — without a judicial warrant.
In other words: make it impossible for federal law enforcement to operate in Philadelphia.
Criminals get sanctuary. Agents get hunted.
That’s the Philadelphia way under Soros prosecutors.
Previous Threats
This isn’t Krasner’s first threat against ICE.
He’s previously said he would arrest federal agents. The DOJ fired back. ICE Director Tom Homan told him to “try it.”
But threatening arrest is one thing. Threatening to “hunt down” agents “the way they hunted down Nazis” is something else entirely.
That’s not a legal threat. That’s not prosecutorial posturing. That’s language that sounds like a call for violence against federal officers.
The Pattern
Krasner joins a growing chorus of Democrats using eliminationist rhetoric against law enforcement.
Tim Walz: “Trump’s modern-day Gestapo.”
Eric Swalwell: ICE “needs to be completely crushed.”
Arizona AG Kris Mayes: ICE agents aren’t “real law enforcement” — while discussing Stand Your Ground laws.
Ohio AG candidate Elliot Forhan: “I am going to kill Donald Trump.”
And now Krasner: promising to hunt down agents like Nazi war criminals.
Each statement pushes the line further. Each one normalizes the next. Each one tells the most unstable elements of the left that violence against federal officers isn’t just acceptable — it’s heroic.
The Real-World Consequences
Two people are dead in Minneapolis after attacking federal agents.
An agent had his finger bitten off by a rioter.
Mobs are surrounding federal officers, blocking their vehicles, threatening their lives.
Healthcare workers are posting about murdering conservative patients.
This is the environment Larry Krasner just poured gasoline on.
When a district attorney — someone with actual prosecutorial power — promises to “hunt down” federal agents, some percentage of his audience takes it literally.
Some unhinged person watching that video is going to decide they should help with the hunt.
And when something terrible happens, Krasner will claim he was speaking metaphorically.
The Insurrection Question
Democrats spent years calling January 6th an insurrection. They imprisoned grandmothers for walking through the Capitol. They called it the worst attack on democracy since the Civil War.
What do you call a sitting prosecutor threatening to hunt down federal law enforcement officers?
What do you call legislation designed to prevent the federal government from enforcing its own laws?
What do you call the systematic obstruction of legitimate federal operations by state and local officials?
If words mean anything, that’s insurrection. It’s rebellion against federal authority. It’s using state power to nullify federal law.
Krasner isn’t just talking about resistance. He’s talking about hunting people down.
What Needs to Happen
Attorney General Pam Bondi should be taking notes. So should FBI Director Kash Patel.
Threatening federal officers is a federal crime. When a district attorney publicly promises to “hunt down” agents and “find their identities,” that warrants investigation.
At minimum, Krasner should face bar discipline. Making threats against law enforcement — even couched in political rhetoric — is not consistent with the ethical obligations of a prosecutor.
At maximum, he should be investigated for incitement. When your words are designed to inspire violence against federal officers, you don’t get to hide behind the First Amendment.
The Bottom Line
Larry Krasner promised to hunt down ICE agents like Nazi war criminals.
He said he would find their identities. Find them. Achieve “justice.”
This is a sitting district attorney. A man with prosecutorial power. A man backed by George Soros. A man who has already threatened to arrest federal agents.
And now he’s invoking Nazi hunters.
In any sane country, this would end a career. In any functioning legal system, this would trigger an investigation.
In 2026 America, it’s just another Tuesday for a Soros prosecutor.
But the agents heard him. The DOJ heard him. And when the time comes to hold these people accountable, Larry Krasner’s words will be Exhibit A.
You wanted to hunt federal agents, Larry?
Don’t be surprised when they come looking for you instead.
