Boston's woke mayor Michelle Wu calling ICE ‘secret police' is ‘reckless,' top prosecutor in Massachusetts says
The top federal prosecutor in Massachusetts blasted Boston's woke mayor — accusing her of putting ICE agents at risk by claiming the feds are acting like 'secret police' in rounding up illegal migrants. US Attorney Leah Foley name-checked Mayor Michelle Wu specifically after Wu voiced concerns over the weekend about the spate of recent ICE arrests — saying people in the sanctuary city were getting snatched off the street by 'secret police who are wearing masks.' Foley quickly ripped Wu's remarks as 'reckless and inflammatory.' Advertisement 'There are no secrets. ICE agents, along with other federal law enforcement partners, are making immigration arrests. That is no secret. They are arresting individuals who are here illegally, which is a violation of federal law,' Foley said. 'We will not apologize for doing our job,' Foley added in the fiery video statement. 3 U.S. Attorney Leah Foley blasted Mayor Michelle Wu's statements about ICE operations in Massachusetts Thursday. @DMAnews1/X Advertisement 3 Wu's remarks were labeled 'reckless and inflammatory.'

Federal agents and their children are being threatened, doxxed and assaulted. That is why they must hide their faces.' Foley denied, too, that illegal migrants were being indiscriminately plucked off the streets. Advertisement 'On the contrary, every arrest or detention is pursuant to and sanctioned by federal law,' she said. Foley added that the feds are working to 'protect the residents of Massachusetts, regardless of the noise being generated by politicians who either do not understand federal law or simply believe our nation's immigration laws should not be enforced.' Wu, for her part, argued the top prosecutor was attacking her for saying 'what Bostonians see with their own eyes.' 3 ICE officers making arrests in Boston.
