""This unconstitutional attack on our city is not a surprise. Boston is a thriving community, the economic and cultural hub of New England, and the safest major city in the country - but this administration is intent on attacking our community to advance their own authoritarian agenda," Wu said in a statement posted to Instagram. "This is our City, and we will vigorously defend our laws and the constitutional rights of cities, which have been repeatedly upheld in courts across the country. We will not yield.""

President Trump signed an executive order targeting sanctuary cities that do not comply with federal immigration enforcement. The federal lawsuit alleges Boston officials refused to cooperate with federal immigration authorities, resulting in the release of "dangerous criminals" from police custody who would otherwise face removal. Attorney General Pam Bondi accused Boston and Mayor Wu of being "among the worst sanctuary offenders in America" and said city policies were "designed to undermine law enforcement" and protect undocumented immigrants from justice. The Boston Police Department and Commissioner Michael Cox are named in the suit. Mayor Wu called the action unconstitutional and vowed to defend city laws and municipal constitutional rights.
