Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has been called to testify before Congress regarding Boston's sanctuary policies. In her recent interview, she expressed concerns that federal pressure aims to create fear without factual backing. She clarified that the city aims to follow the law diligently and has observed that ICE actions target serious offenders rather than schools or churches. Wu emphasized a division in responsibilities between federal and local governments, reiterating Boston's commitment to public safety while navigating complex immigration laws and policies.
in reality, our job at the city level, especially, but I would say, in government in general, is to understand the law, is to follow the law.
We will continue to do what we do on the city side, which is keeping everyone safe here, and we don't have the authority to stop or overrule what they're doing in their domain.
