ICE Threatens Boston Surge As Wu Warns BPD: Leak To ICE, Get Disciplined

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said any Boston Police officers who share unauthorized information with ICE will face discipline under the city’s Trust Act, amid federal threats to ramp up immigration enforcement in the city. Wu defended the law as key to public safety and said she has seen no evidence that BPD officers are secretly providing intel to ICE, despite claims by acting ICE Director Todd Lyons. The comments come as DOJ demand letters and public ICE threats signal a broader federal escalation targeting sanctuary jurisdictions, with Boston a focal point.
