Quote of the Day
“Pro-criminal Mayor Wu knows she has ZERO authority to block ICE from utilizing private property — so now she’s trying to intimidate Bostonians. If PRIVATE citizens want to allow federal law enforcement onto their OWN property, they should be allowed to do so. They should not face threats from their radical mayor who shamelessly compared ICE agents to a neo-Nazi group.”
DHS accuses Mayor Wu of trying to deter landlords from leasing to ICE. It's a political attack over federal vs. local immigration authority.
