Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is defending the city's sanctuary policies at a House hearing amid Republican criticism. The hearing will also involve mayors from other cities with similar policies. Wu, who is running for reelection, will emphasize Boston's low homicide rate as a success of her administration, potentially using it to counter arguments against the sanctuary policies. Supporters and opponents of Wu's policies are expected to rally outside City Hall, highlighting the contentious debate around immigration enforcement in the city.
This hearing is yet another attempt to bully state and local governments into carrying out the Trump administration's agenda. But let's be clear: Policies like the Trust Act keep our communities safe and free by bolstering public support for law enforcement.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is up for reelection this year, facing a potentially tough challenge from Josh Kraft, which adds urgency to her defense of sanctuary policies.
