(WHTM) — Governor Josh Shapiro announced on The View that multiple Pennsylvania cities, including those in the Midstate, will be prepared for large-scale ICE operations amid the recent killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota.

Governor Shapiro responded to rumors that Pennsylvania cities could be the next spots for ICE raids, saying the courts and communities have already begun preparing.

“We’ve been planning for this,” said Shapiro. “We understand that this is a risk, maybe not just in Philly, but Pittsburgh, Lancaster, other communities across Pennsylvania; we’ve heard similar rumors; wherever it comes, we’ll be prepared. We’ll be prepared in the community, we’ll be prepared in the court of law. I’ll remind you, as a former Attorney General, I know how to take this President to court and win, and even as Governor, I’ve taken him to court 19 times in his first 12 months in office. We’ve won every single time on behalf of the good people of Pennsylvania.”

Shapiro was also asked about when an arsonist broke into his residence and threw Molotov cocktails inside while he and his family slept inside. He said that while he suffered no physical injuries, he and his family still feel residual emotional trauma.

“We feel blessed that we didn’t have the physical trauma of that night, the way Donald Trump did in Butler, Charlie Kirk did in Utah, or Mrs. Hortman did in Minnesota, and sadly, there are many others to name as well, but the emotional scars remain,” said Shapiro.

Shapiro also acknowledged the work of Dauphin County District Attorney Fran Chardo on prosecuting the arsonist on the show.

“The District Attorney in Dauphin County did a great job of assuring they’re behind bars for 50 years,” Shapiro added.

Shapiro said lawmakers must universally condemn political violence regardless of where they fall on the political spectrum.

“I don’t care who it’s directed at, Democrat or Republican, or put forth by someone on the left or right, it should not be hard to condemn the killing of Charlie Kirk and Melissa Hortman,” said Shapiro. “The President of the United States does not have the capacity to do that, and we have too many politicians pointing fingers instead of trying to bring folks together and condemn this universally. If we can come together and condemn it universally, we can take down the temperature.”

Shapiro was also asked about the potential of him running for president in 2028, but said he was focused on his re-election bid in 2026.
