Hi, it’s Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner.
This week, I sat down for an interview with CNN’s Kaitlan Collins. She asked me about Donald Trump’s recent decision to send the National Guard into Washington, D.C. against the city’s wishes, and his threat to do the same in other cities.
My response is simple: There is no indication that President Trump likes public safety. He’s a convicted criminal himself. He pardons criminals who assault police officers. He’s not in favor of law-abiding behavior or public safety.
But he is in favor of power. He is in favor of fascism. He is in favor of ending democracy. And what he’s trying to do here is not normal.
Now he may think he has a right to send in troops who aren’t even trained in this kind of work. But legally, he has no right to do this. And he better not try it in Philly.
As I said to him in November of 2024, he can f— around and find out if he decides to mess with our city.
If you’re with me in the fight to stand up to fascism and Trump’s illegal threats to take over Philadelphia, add your name to my petition today. Let’s show him we’re not backing down. [[link removed]]

The tenth amendment states clearly that Donald Trump cannot take over the Philadelphia police department as he’s doing in Washington, D.C.
Philadelphia is the birthplace of American democracy. We have a beautiful, diverse, and democratic city. Oh, and by the way, we have crime rates that are at 30-year lows. And that’s exactly why our city’s name has been in his vicious mouth for a very long time.
Our city is thriving – it’s not in an emergency. The emergency is Donald Trump, plain and simple.
Let’s show him we’re not afraid.
