The sheriff, elected and sworn into office in 2020, echoed a threat from Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner who warned that federal law enforcement officials who commit crimes in Philadelphia will be arrested and prosecuted.
“So, I’m with the DA,” Bilal said. “You don’t want this smoke. Cuz we will bring it to you,” adding in a dig at President Donald Trump that “the criminal in the White House would not be able to keep” federal agents from going to jail.
