Like elected Democrat officials in other parts of the country, including Chicago, New York, and California, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu (D) continues to do her part in standing with criminal illegal immigrants over American citizens, something we’ve repeatedly seen from Wu, including when she compared ICE to Nazis.
“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 said in June 2025 while speaking to reporters.
Last Thursday, Wu, joined by other nearby mayors, announced she had signed an executive order that she hoped would severely curtail ICE operations in Beantown:
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu on Thursday issued an executive order that she says is designed to protect residents “from unconstitutional and violent federal operations.”Specifically, the order says federal agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement can’t use city property “as an unpermitted staging area, processing location, operations base, or any similar purpose in furtherance of civil immigration enforcement operations.” It also says Boston will investigate “criminal conduct by federal officials,” and release surveillance footage of violence or property damage by federal agents.”Our actions today are informed by what we’ve all seen over the past few weeks in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Lewiston and Portland,” Wu said, referencing federal operations in Minnesota and Maine. “We will hold accountable anyone who commits violence, property damage or any criminal conduct in the city of Boston, including federal officials.”
I just signed an executive order instructing @boston.gov departments to take a range of actions to protect our residents and make clear that we will hold anyone accountable who commits violence, property damage, or any criminal conduct in the City of Boston—including federal officials.

On the same day, however, ICE paid Wu’s Roslindale neighborhood a visit – and promptly nabbed an illegal immigrant:
Neighbors described seeing two unmarked Ford Explorers circling Roslindale Square before calling a hotline that tracks ICE sightings.
The ICE operation unfolded across the street from a bilingual childcare center and in view of minority owned businesses in Roslindale Square.
“How are people in this community supposed to feel in any way safer? You’re taking one of our neighbors and leaving their car running on the street,” said neighbor Amy Littlefield.
City Councilor Enrique Pepén told Boston 25 News he witnessed the aftermath of the ICE operation and referred to it as an “abduction”.
Here’s the video report on what happened (note: Wu’s order doesn’t “ban” ICE from operating in the city):
If this executive order is like any other action Wu has taken against ICE since President Trump’s second term started, she can look for immigration enforcement activity to be ramped up in Boston and surrounding areas to prove a point that ICE is not going to be stopped from doing its job by a woke mayor.
