The federal government is cracking down on cities that protect illegal immigrants over American citizens. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu got grilled in Congress this week for her city’s sanctuary policies. She claims Boston is safer than ever, but critics say her reckless decisions are putting families at risk.
Tom Homan, President Trump’s border chief, isn’t backing down. He slammed Wu for letting criminal illegal aliens roam free instead of handing them to ICE. “We’re not apologizing for doing our jobs,” Homan said. He promised to bring the heat to Boston until they follow the law.
At the hearing, Republicans blasted Wu and other mayors for ignoring ICE detainer requests. They say this lets dangerous criminals back on the streets. One lawmaker shouted, “You’ve got blood on your hands!” Wu fired back with talk about “community trust” and record-low crime stats. But facts show multiple child rapists and violent offenders were released in Boston alone.
Mayor Wu says her police commissioner has her full support. But Homan says cops who won’t enforce immigration laws don’t deserve their badges. “They’ve become politicians, not peace officers,” he argued. Meanwhile, Boston taxpayers are footing a $650,000 legal bill to defend these failed policies.
Other cities like New York and Denver face the same heat. Their mayors keep wasting millions on illegal immigrants while neighborhoods struggle. Eric Adams admitted he can’t stop migrants from coming, but he won’t let ICE do its job either. It’s clear these leaders care more about political correctness than public safety.
The Trump administration vows to keep fighting until every sanctuary city falls in line. Attorney General Pam Bondi warned that Boston will see more ICE raids and arrests. “Criminals will be prosecuted,” she said. With Trump’s team pushing harder than ever, the days of coddling illegal immigrants may soon be over.
