Mayor Wu aims to shield Boston from federal immigration tactics through executive order
WGBH Boston ^ | 02/05/2026 | Trajan Warren

Posted on 02/06/2026 7:26:19 AM PST by DFG

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. On Wednesday, Worcester announced a similar order.

The order states that federal immigration officials are to be denied access to nonpublic areas of municipal buildings — including schools, libraries and community centers — without a judicial warrant.

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.

The order also states that residents may call emergency services to respond to a warrantless entry into a private dwelling. The order says first responders should provide immediate medical attention to anyone injured during a federal operation.

Wu said this is a direct response to surges of federal enforcement in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Portland and Lewiston, Maine.

Wouldnt it be refreshing if she announced protection of citizens by not releasing violent criminal illegals detained by her police, back into the streets where the Feds then have to track them down in communities and among civilians.

Following her logic, anyone can declare themselves in sanctuary from her government, including city taxes and unconstitutional laws related to the ownership and sale of firearms.

I’m sure she includes the heroic Somalis who were and are part of every accomplishment of Boston throughout the years.

**************

Its the aftermath of what people voted for. There was a clear mandate to reverse the invasion. That's how democracy works but Democrats only like it when things work in their favor.

Dems don’t care about the safety of communities. They only care about protecting the constituencies that provide the votes to keep them in power. Its all about political power and maintaining control.

She believes one of "our founding principles" is to stop the government from removing foreign, illegal and criminal aliens .

What her honor wishes to keep in the US, from today's news:

Pure performance art. The law is completely illegal and preempted by federal law.

Why would any State elect a Taiwanese as a gov’t official.

“The Congress shall have power...To raise and support armies”

Possible Federal Law:

All state law enabled law enforcers including judges and governors shall endeavor to assist the President and his deputies in the removal of aliens over three feet in height not known by them to have proof of legal admission to the US, except as necessary and proper to enforce state criminal law against such aliens by incarceration.

This shall be done according to the regulations of the Secretary of Homeland Security, the laws enacted by Congress and the lawful requests of the federal persons charged with rounding up such aliens.

Aliens over three feet in height shall clearly & personally present proof of legal admission to the USA to law enforcement persons indicating an interest in seeing it by uttering the words “admission ID por favor”.

Aliens failing to present such evidence of admission shall be subject upon the direction of the Secretary of Homeland Security to removal to their country, or a federal reservation if removal to their home country has not been judicially authorized.

“without a judicial warrant”

Have printers been leaving out a word for Amendment IV?

In the early 1960s, Algeria was able to remove undesirable aliens.
