In an emergency, there is no violation of the TFR. The PIC has the

Been there, done that, and the FAA didn't even mention the TFR.

It is my understanding that the FAA has had the authority to press

Technically, the FBI and the US Attorney would be the ones to prosecute
under Federal criminal statutes. The FAA has no criminal enforcement powers.
