Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons shared a pointed message to Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal after she threatened to lock up any Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who “come into our communities” to “commit a crime.”
Bilal’s comments came a day after 37-year-old Renee Good was shot and killed by an ICE officer in Minneapolis Wednesday morning while in her car. The ICE officer identified as federal agent Jonathan Ross.
Calling ICE agents “made-up fake, wannabe law enforcement” during a press conference, the Philadelphia sheriff directly called out President Donald Trump, vowing that the “criminal in the White House will not be able to keep [any ICE agents] from going to jail” if they commit a crime.
“If any of them want to come in this city and commit a crime, you will not be able to hide, nobody will whisk you off,” Bilal added. “You don’t want this smoke because we will bring it to you.”
Appearing on Fox News’ “Big Weekend Show” on Saturday, Lyons shot back at Bilal’s remark.
