In a show of solidarity, Massachusetts lawmakers, including Senators Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren, backed Boston Mayor Michelle Wu as she prepared for her testimony before Congress. Wu's testimony will focus on Boston's immigration policies amidst pressures from the Trump administration, which has targeted sanctuary cities. The lawmakers expressed strong criticism of President Trump, highlighting their commitment to protect Boston's interests against his policies. Wu reiterated her belief in Boston's welcoming spirit, contrasting it with the current administration's approach to immigration enforcement and support for vulnerable communities.
"We are going to fight Donald Trump. We are not going to allow him to loot the future of Boston to pay for billionaire tax breaks. That's just not something that is acceptable to our delegation, to our state, and I know, to Mayor Wu."
"We are the city where people come to do good in the world, at a time when this administration seems dead set on the opposite. We are a city that opens our arms and offers a hand, when this administration is more interested in turning its back."
