DHS, White House Lash Out at Boston Mayor Who Compared ICE Agents to Neo-Nazis
Agents wear masks because people like you make these remarks, Mayor. Grow up.
The Department of Homeland Security blasted Michelle Wu, Boston’s radical leftist mayor, for comparing ICE agents to neo-Nazis.
From The Daily Wire:
“I don’t know of any police department that routinely wears masks. We know that there are other groups that routinely wear masks. NSC-131 routinely wears masks,” Wu told reporters.
“Mayor, just to clarify, are you comparing ICE to — you said — to NSC-131, a neo-Nazi group? Are you comparing them to a neo-Nazi group?” a reporter asked.
“What I said is that Boston police, and no police department that I know of at the local level, routinely wears masks” she answered.
Michelle Wu is a regular topic at Legal Insurrection.
Mike mentioned Wu’s comments in his article: Democrats Want to Unmask ICE Agents But Not Anti-Israel Campus Protesters.
DHS responded:
Mayor Wu comparing ICE agents to neo-Nazis is SICKENING.
When our heroic law enforcement officers conduct operations, they clearly identify themselves as law enforcement while wearing masks to protect themselves from being targeted by known and suspected gang members, murders, and rapists.
Attacks and demonization of our brave law enforcement is WRONG. ICE officers are now facing a 413% increase in assaults.

The White House condemned Wu on its website.
“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,” said White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson.
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons demanded that everyone stop their dangerous rhetoric:
Politicians need to stop putting my people in danger. I’m not asking them to stop. I’m demanding that they stop.
Here’s what I have to say to Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, Congressman Hakeem Jeffries, and anyone else stirring up the outrage about what ICE does. These are real people with real families. You’re hurting with your ridiculous rhetoric and inflammatory comments and it’s time to remember that.

The White House’s Rapid Response X account continued a thread naming the “vicious monsters” with criminal records that ICE agents arrested in Boston.
So many of them committed sexual crimes against children!

President Donald Trump went hard and fast against illegal immigration on his first day in office.
It didn’t take long for threats against ICE agents to ramp up.
Shoot, people erupted at a New York City courthouse when ICE agents went to arrest an illegal alien.
It seems to be a regular occurrence at these courthouses.

The left went scorched earth and will reap the consequences.
Democrats went scorched earth….She is a Dem, Jeffries is a Dem and so on.
The two used to be different, but now they are indistinguishable.
What a scumbag. She and Jeffries can form a club.
Gonna need to stage some busses loaded with DHS agents just out of sight while the arrests occur. Then when ‘protesters’ attempt.to block vehicles transporting the detainees bring the buses in, unload the DHS agents, they arrest every protestor and put them on the busses. Everyone goes to a Federal detention facility for processing. Until the Admin commits the resources necessary to arrest the ‘rent a mob’ the jobs will get more organized and more violent.
… and maybe the paperwork of the “protesters” gets lost for a little while while they are sitting in lock-up … These things happen.
I agree: Everyone participating in these attacks on ICE agents doing their jobs needs to be arrested and tried. Federally. And find out if anyone is paying to bus these people in, organizing them, etc.
I suspect just the shock of arrest will be enough. Most of these goons will not comply so they will add a resistance w/o violence charge and if they actually kick/punch/spit that’s battery on LEO. Honestly what % would we expect to submit and comply without any resistance and without more jackass behavior to stack more charges? Then there’s probability of warrants for everything from unpaid traffic/parking tickets, child support and fines/conditions of release of other protests to felony warrants. For that matter what’s the over/under on lawful immigration status for the entire of these mobs? Gotta be some idiot in there who overstayed a Visa or by their criminal actions is violating their current VISA or deferred deportation status.
But they still need to actually be sentenced to significant time in jail. We don’t have to take too many of these turds off of the streets to have things completely calm down and allow ICE to work unfettered.
True though I believe that the shift in tactics to make arrests of the ‘protesters’ will have a significant deterrent effect. There become so used to lack of consequences that an abrupt shift to arrests and prosecution in Federal CT will impact the willingness to participate.
Just do like they did during the J6 protesters. Just round them up and throw them in federal prison without legal representation or charges for an extended period of time until the Trump administration gets around to charging them and bringing them to trial.
. . . and maybe we treat these “protesters” like the J6 protesters were treated and throw them in federal prison for indefinite detention without legal representation or charges until the Trump administration gets around to charging them and bringing them to trial. Leave them to rot in prison for say, three years?
Exactly. Except buses, not busses. Kissing them isn’t going to do any good; they need to be arrested.
Busses is also acceptable as the plural of bus. Look it up.
She should host these fine non-citizens in her home. I’m sure they’d treat her wonderfully
Boston residents are getting stupider by the day.
Mayor Wu is a face of the CCP.
Not really though it sounds good, She’s Taiwanese although her grandparents were nationalists who fled China. One of her grandfathers was a general in the nationalist army, If anything she is an example of a (politically) rebellious child who was further corrupted by harvard and harvard law.
Her parents might have been anti-communist but she, obviously, is not. She is a commie, through and through. More of an American commie than a CCP one …. but Maism is the hot trend among democrats since almost half of Barky’s junta were Maoists.
Voters in Massachusetts are more interested in virtue signaling their woke bona fides electing pinheads like Maura Healy and Michelle Wu than they in electing people who are interested in effectively governing and upholding the law as they swore to do.
And what’s to stop them? You could put the entire Republican delegation to Beacon Hill in a Chevy Suburban. Literally. They are persona non grata.
Wu was elected because she checks boxes, not because she was the best candidate. Not by a long shot.
At this point, give her as much rope as she desires. Eventually she’ll hang herself with it (metaphorically, of course).
Wu fantasizes about Nazis and then trivializes them to all in her sick, hateful mind.
I am an extreme, rightwing, law enforcement supporter. I totally approve of the enforcement actions. But, routinely referring to law enforcement personnel as heroic and brave is cringeworthy. I am ex law enforcement. If a particular incident exhibits extreme bravery, then fine, but otherwise this description is risible, and makes us look like knuckle dragging morons.
I agree with you. Same goes for firefighters. Also the routine thank you for your service to veterans I find cringeworthy, These are all often examples of right wing virtue signaling in my opinion.
I meant that as a down vote
Agreed. Heroism comes from acts of valor and attempts to apply ‘heroism’ outside that context cheapens and demeans those acts of valor. Should we respect those who are.willing to put on a uniform to place themselves between the general Public and foreign enemies, criminals and who rush into fires to try and save lives? Absolutely we should and some of them will perform acts of valor during their service but not all of them, not by a long shot.
Agreed,
Having a job that puts you on a daily basis of not coming home
That’s an honorable job and the person behind the badge deserves his due
Oftentimes as a nurse, especially working the ER or psych, those nurses, like the police, are “ brothers in arms”
agree
Meanwhile, the only people trying to get into Nazi territory were Allied forces.

He can’t stop rolling in his grave…
I’m waiting for how palestinians co-op this insane”cause.” Will they claim that ICE agents were trained by Israel and funded by Jews? are illegal criminal immigrants the same as gaza refugees in an open air prison or having their freedom stolen. Are ICE agents also occupying forces? Will we see from gaza to boston pamphlets? All I know is that the hamas crowd don’t like having anyone overtake them in insane violent fervor, so somehow intersectionality must lead back to the holy grail of palestinians.
if ice was trained by israel we’d have 1/10 the problems that we have
Mayor Wu isn’t covered by the speech and debate clause. Not is anyone else except Congress and the Senate. It’s high time AG Bondi finds a way to slap these local and state politicians with incitement. As well as setting up these ridiculous sanctuary cities and states. It won’t stop until people are held responsible for their actions and incitements.
She doesn’t need to be. She is engaging in protected speech. Nothing she has said comes even close to incitement. If you could stretch the laws against incitement to include her speech, all you’d achieve would be to make those laws invalid.
And “sanctuary cities” and “states” are constitutionally protected. The tenth amendment protects a state’s right to refuse to cooperate with federal law enforcement.
Maybe someday Chairman Wu (of Harvard of course) will need law enforcement for some personal emergency. I hope she waits…and waits…and waits for a response.
Karma, it’s overdue for this leftist a-hole.
Congress could try passing something like the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, but the thing is that act itself is on shaky constitutional grounds, so something similar to cover ICE agents would almost certainly be challenged and might well be struck down.
wellll
who the f are wu!!!??!
