"Trump's U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Wu, the city of Boston and its police department over its sanctuary city policies, claiming they're interfering with immigration enforcement. In response, Wu accused Trump of "attacking cities to hide his administration's failures." On the day of the preliminary election, the Department of Homeland Security put out a statement announcing the arrests of seven people as part of a crackdown in Massachusetts."
"She was expected to face Josh Kraft, a nonprofit leader and son of Patriots owner Robert Kraft. But he dropped out after losing badly to her in the preliminary election earlier this month. Since the top two vote getters advance, attention turned to third place finisher Domingos DaRosa. But after a recount of several wards by the city's election board was completed Monday, DaRosa, a community activist who was born in Cape Verde Islands, did not garner enough votes to qualify to be on the ballot in November."
Michelle Wu will run unopposed for a second four-year term as Boston mayor after no challenger secured enough votes to advance to the November ballot. Josh Kraft, a nonprofit leader expected to be a major challenger, dropped out after a lopsided preliminary loss. Third-place finisher Domingos DaRosa failed to qualify following a recount. Wu is Boston's first Asian and female mayor. Wu spent much of the year clashing with the Trump administration over immigration. Federal officials, including border czar Tom Homan, accused the city of not cracking down on illegal immigration, and the U.S. Department of Justice sued Boston over sanctuary policies.
