Boston officials were prepared for a meeting with a federal antisemitism task force to discuss recent incidents and concerns about discrimination against Jewish students. However, the Department of Justice failed to provide specific details or confirm the meeting originally suggested for April 23. The city officials, including Mayor Michelle Wu, had sought clarity on the DOJ's concerns regarding potential violations of federal law protecting students. Without further information from the DOJ, the planned meeting did not take place, highlighting ongoing tensions between Boston's city government and the federal administration.
A proposed meeting between Boston officials and a federal antisemitism task force that would have taken place on Wednesday is not happening, as tensions continue to mount between the Trump administration and the city government led by Mayor Michelle Wu.
Representatives from the Department of Justice met with Boston officials and the head of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Boston on April 9 for a site visit in advance of the proposed later meeting.
