Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has come under fire following remarks comparing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to neo-Nazis. This statement comes shortly after she referred to ICE and other federal agents as "secret police." The controversy arises amid heightened tensions regarding immigration enforcement in the city.
White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson criticized Mayor Wu's comments, stating, "Because of dangerous, unhinged smears from the Left, ICE officers are facing a 413% increase in assaults. President Trump is keeping his promise to the American people to deport illegal aliens. It’s disturbing that Democrats like Mayor Wu would side with illegal immigrants over Americans and stoke hatred against American law enforcement."
The debate highlights ongoing disagreements over immigration policies and sanctuary cities. The recent large-scale operation by ICE removed nearly 1,500 criminal illegal immigrants from Massachusetts streets, sparking further discussion on the role of local governments in federal immigration enforcement.
