Soros-backed Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner drew bipartisan rebukes after saying he would "hunt" down ICE agents, prompting GOP Rep. Greg Steube to ask Attorney General Pam Bondi to open a criminal probe under the statute on threatening federal officers. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin condemned the remarks as unacceptable and "vile," while other Republicans called for his arrest or attacked his low violent-crime prosecution rate; the Justice Department did not respond to requests for comment and the White House referred questions back to DOJ.
