Boston Mayor Michelle Wu defended her comments regarding ICE agents wearing masks after U.S. Attorney Leah Foley criticized her. Wu expressed concern that residents feared ICE agents, referring to them as 'secret police' and contrasting their masked identities with local police who operate transparently. Foley contended that Wu's remarks created false narratives and defended masked agents citing threats to their safety. Wu highlighted the lack of mask-wearing among local police and compared masked ICE agents to neo-Nazi groups in the area, reinforcing her stance on the importance of accountability in law enforcement.
"I don't know of any police department that routinely wears masks, displaying their badges publicly, with body cameras that document the interactions that take place with full transparency, because we have nothing to hide."
"We know that there are other groups that routinely wear masks, NSC 131 routinely wears masks."
