"Tensions between Michelle Wu, the mayor of Boston, and the Trump administration have been escalating in recent months over the administration's aggressive immigration policies, with reports now signaling the possibility of a federal immigration enforcement surge in the city. The friction came to a head last week when the Trump administration reportedly began preparing an immigration enforcement blitz for Boston in the coming weeks, according to Politico."
"Unlike the Trump administration, Boston follows the law city, state and federal, Wu said in a statement. We are the safest major city in the country because all of our community members know that they are part of how we keep the entire community safe. Stop attacking cities to hide your administration's failures. This standoff has been steadily building since March when Wu testified before Congress alongside three other Democratic mayors to defend their cities' immigration policies"
Tensions between Boston Mayor Michelle Wu and the Trump administration have escalated over aggressive federal immigration policies, with reports of a planned federal enforcement surge in Boston. The administration reportedly prepared an immigration enforcement blitz, prompting a rebuke from Wu, who emphasized that Boston follows city, state, and federal law and defended sanctuary protections as a basis for community trust and safety. The standoff intensified after Wu testified before Congress defending sanctuary policies that limit local cooperation with ICE. Supporters say sanctuary measures build trust and correlate with lower crime; critics say they hinder federal deportation efforts.
