"As Massachusetts leaders registered their shock and anger over the killing of a woman by an ICE officer in Minnesota Wednesday, the Trump administration argued in court documents that Boston's so-called "sanctuary" policy is "obstructionist" and "unlawfully discriminates" against the federal government."
"With the fallout of the Minnesota shooting reverberating around the country, anger directed at ICE officers in Massachusetts appears poised to escalate. A protest is planned for Thursday evening in downtown Boston, with organizers hoping to turn out thousands that want to "stop ICE terror.""
""Once again, we can see with our own eyes the cruel and vicious agenda of the Trump administration. To protect our residents, we must end the mass deployment of ICE agents into American cities and restore rule of law and basic accountability from the federal government,""
Massachusetts leaders reacted with shock and anger after a woman was killed by an ICE officer in Minnesota, fueling local outrage. A large protest is planned in downtown Boston to oppose ICE activity. Mayor Michelle Wu condemned the incident, called the administration's agenda "cruel and vicious," and urged ending mass ICE deployments and restoring federal accountability. The Trump administration sued Mayor Wu, the City of Boston, Police Commissioner Michael Cox, and the Boston Police Department over the Trust Act, arguing it is illegal under federal law. The Trust Act limits BPD assistance to federal immigration enforcement. Boston filed to dismiss the suit; the federal government filed a 28-page response asking a judge to deny dismissal.
