Philly Sheriff Says She’ll Arrest ICE Brokers Who Try to Implement Immigration Regulation
Far-left Democratic Sheriff Rochelle Bilal of Philadelphia has openly said she will wage rebellion and insurrection against the federal government if authorities attempt to enforce immigration laws in the City of Brotherly Love.
During a news conference, Bilal also put District Attorney Larry Krasner on the side of insurrection, claiming he will prosecute federal agents who enforce the law.
Bilal’s deranged and palpably false jeremiad follows that of far-left Democratic Governor Tim Walz of Minnesota. He declared that he would use National Guard troops to fight Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Bilal Speech
Bilal spoke in response to the shooting death of lesbian Renee Good in Minneapolis. An ICE agent shot and killed Good when she tried to run over him with her SUV.
Though crackpot Democrats claim the agent “murdered” Good in “cold blood,” the latest video, as JP reported today, clearly shows the woman’s refusal to obey lawful order to exit her vehicle before she attempted to murder the agent.
Apparently unaware of that video or what happened, Bilal unbosomed herself of a particularly uninformed rant.
After encouraging the assembled worthies to “say her name,” meaning Renee Good, Bilal claimed that the shooting “should not have happened.” Bilal did not add that it wouldn’t have happened if Good had obeyed the order to get out of her car.
She opened in nearly incomprehensible ghetto English:
Let note that law enforcement professionals, real ones — not the fake, made-up ICE, probably Trump’s new army to attack citizens of the United States.
Did you hear what I said? No law enforcement professional wears a mask. None. None. Those that come into our communities wearing a mask to commit crime — and thank God for our district attorney, Larry Krasner, who said he’s going to lock ’em up — and I’m saying now, we are not going to whisk you away for them to hide your identity, because when you do it there, you get arrested there. No whisk away for them to hide you. None of that here. None of that here.
Bilal claimed that cops don’t fire at moving cars, falsely said of Good that “she wasn’t fleeing, she was getting out of the way,” and claimed that cops “do not stand in front of moving vehicles.”
She called ICE “made-up, fake, wannabe law enforcement because what they do is against not only legal law, but the moral law.”
“If any of them wanna come in this city and commit a crime, you will not be able to hide, nobody will whisk you off,” she vowed:
You don’t want this smoke because we will bring it to you.
Bilal said President Donald Trump, “the criminal in the White House,” won’t be able to protect ICE agents, and called the agent involved in the shooting a “nutcase.”
Since Bilal took office in 2020, the city has suffered 2,478 murders, an average of 413 per year. To her credit, murders did decline from 562 in 2021 to 222 last year. Those are the first two years in which at least one Philadelphian was not murdered every day.
Walz War
Bilal echoed Walz, who recently quit the 2026 Minnesota governor’s race because of his role in the state’s Somali fraud scandals. Walz faces possible prosecution not only for that scandal, but also for claiming he is at war with the federal government:
I don’t think any governor in history has had to fight a war against the federal government. We’ve never been at war with our federal government.
And “Rogue” ICE agents might face a fight with the National Guard:
My primary responsibility as governor is the protection of the people of Minnesota, and you can be assured whether it’s the State Patrol, or whether it’s the National Guard, their deployment is there to protect Minnesotans from whatever it is — if it’s an act of nature, if it’s a global pandemic, or in this case, if it is a rogue federal agent.
GOP Representative Mary Miller of Illinois wants Walz prosecuted under the Insurrection Act, as does House colleague Nancy Mace of South Carolina.
Like Walz, Bilal is apparently unfamiliar with the law.
18 U.S. Code 2383 is clear: Those who incite insurrection against the federal government face 10 years in prison:
Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
10 U.S. Code 253 says the president “shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it … opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States.”
Should Walz order the Guard to attack what he called “rogue” agents, he could be arrested for insurrection, as could Bilal, should she do the same to “made-up, fake, wannabe law enforcement.”
The two far-left Democrats might also be unfamiliar with the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution, the basis for myriad lawsuits by the Department of Justice against sanctuary cities that defy federal law. That clause says:
This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof … shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.
That means that neither Bilal nor Walz can interfere with federal agents who are enforcing immigration laws without risk of arrest on multiple grounds such as obstruction, resisting a federal officer, aiding and abetting, harboring a fugitive, and harboring an illegal alien.
