ICE Chief Threatens To Flood Boston With Agents After Mayor Wu Defies Sanctuary Order

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons vowed to “flood the zone” in Boston after Mayor Michelle Wu rejected federal demands to end the city’s sanctuary policies. The comments come as DOJ letters to 35 jurisdictions threaten funding cuts or legal action. Wu defended Boston’s Trust Act and said the city will not back down, framing the threats as unconstitutional coercion.
