Wu was asked in an interview with WCVB about the Trump administration’s plans to launch a mass deportation operation when it takes office in January, and was asked what Boston’s response will be.

“Elections have consequences, and the federal government is responsible for a certain set of actions, and cities, no individual city, can reverse or override some parts of that,” she said. “But what we can do is make sure that we are doing our part to protect our residents in every possible way, that we are not cooperating with those efforts that actually threaten the safety of everyone by causing widespread fear and and having large scale economic impact.” […]

OK then, get out of the way and let ICE agents do their jobs.

Do not interfere with actions of federal agents who are doing their jobs. Such interference itself is a legal violation, even if you are a self declared sanctuary city or state.

Chairman Wu needs to leave. Chicago needs her back.

Adopt the idea posted on X yesterday - Trump just announces that no enforcement action will be taken against any illegal alien found within the city limits of Boston until after 2026, but they will face immediate arrest and deportation if they are detained anywhere else in the country.

Boston politicians can virtue signal among their 20 million new neighbors for a while. :)
