Oh, honey child, bless your heart
Mayor Wu aims to shield Boston from federal immigration tactics through executive order
In the aftermath of heavy federal immigration enforcement nationwide, Mayor Michelle Wu signed an executive order Thursday to protect against unconstitutional and violent federal enforcement.
The order asserts that local police are obligated to protect residents, and says the city refuses to assist federal commandeering of local resources.
“We will not allow the birthplace of American democracy to be knocked off our path by those who have turned their backs on our founding principles,” Mayor Wu said during a press conference on Thursday at City Hall.
“An Executive Order To Protect Bostonians From Unconstitutional and Violent Federal Operations” also bans federal officials from using property owned by the city — including buildings, parks and parking lots — for their operations without a valid court order. Earlier Thursday, Worcester announced a similar order.
Is she trying to get a big operation to come to Boston? Because this is how you do it, by daring Trump and Homan. But, I wonder if they might hold off till it’s warmer out, after dealing with Minnesota in the winter.
Wu said the announcement today was in the “spirit of every Bostonian who refused to back down.”
“From the parents who led the school desegregation movement, to the immigrant activists who work every day to make Boston a home for everyone. We are standing tall, and we are standing together,” she said.
Refuse to back down from protesting enforcing federal law? Did this dipshit just compare illegal immigration to desegregation? I wouldn’t be surprised if Blacks came after her hard for that stupidity.
Carol Rose, executive director of the ACLU of Massachusetts, said it was heartening to see the collective solidarity of elected officials and leaders throughout the state on this order, demonstrating a “shared resolve to hold ICE to account.”
“We urge municipalities across Massachusetts to move quickly to implement protections like Boston’s, sending a unified message that ICE cannot act with impunity in this Commonwealth,” Rose said in a written statement. “We also call on state lawmakers to build upon the important immigration bills filed by Gov. Healey and the Black and Latino Legislative Caucus to enact strong, comprehensive law to keep all Massachusetts communities safe and free.”
Shouldn’t the ACLU be standing for Americans? ICE is doing the job as directed by laws passed by the duly elected legislative branch. Good luck with this. What Trump should do is announce that he won’t arrest illegals in Boston, at least for the time being, so that they stream into Beantown. Let Wu deal with the fallout. You know the Trump admin won’t be sending any federal money to help.
In the last Marist Poll 2/3s of Americans feel that Trump/Ice have gone too far against immigration.

Too bad, so sad, must suck to be them! Mr Trump’s term in office is not affected by whether a lot of people disapprove of how he’s running things, but the constitutional date at which his term ends.
Normal people suffered through four long, miserable years of Joe Biden opening the border, mandating an experimental vaccine, and ruinous inflation, and there was nothing we could do about it until November 5, 2024. Come November 7, 2028, you’ll get your chance to express your disapproval.

LOL! I’m old enough to remember the resistance to integration, specifically forced busing, in “Southie,” south Boston. It was national news!
Oh big Wu. As bad as Walz.
