Boston Mayor Michelle Wu Confronted After Comparing ICE Agents To Nazi Group
Democrat Boston Mayor Michelle Wu compared Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to a New England neo-Nazi group on Wednesday because they both wear masks.
The Boston mayor invoked the New England neo-Nazi group, NSC-131, to argue against the idea that law enforcement organizations wear masks “routinely.” When a reporter asked her to clarify whether she was comparing ICE to NSC-131, Wu did not deny it and stated that Boston Police and other local law enforcement agencies do not wear masks.
“I don’t know of any police department that routinely wear masks. We know that there are other groups who routinely wear masks, NSC-131 routinely wears masks,” Wu said.
When a reporter asked for the clarification, Wu stated, “What I said is that Boston Police and no police department that I know of at the local level routinely wears masks.”
Wu has repeatedly clashed with federal immigration officials after she affirmed Boston’s status as a sanctuary city shortly after President Donald Trump entered his second term. An ICE spokesperson confirmed to the Boston Herald that the city ignored a total of 198 detainer requests on illegal immigrants who had committed “egregious criminal activity” throughout 2024.
As the Trump administration has cracked down on illegal immigration, Wu and other Democrat mayors testified before the House Oversight Committee on March 5 about their refusal to cooperate with federal agents. Wu could not explicitly answer Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer as he repeatedly asked if she would turn illegal immigrants with criminal records over to ICE.
“Whenever there’s a criminal warrant, Boston police enforce that and hold them accountable,” Wu said, without directly answering Comer’s question.
The Boston mayor defended her city’s refusal to cooperate with federal immigration authorities during a March 19 “State of the City” address, where she criticized “presidents who think they are kings.” The White House pushed back by calling Wu a “radical mayor” who “puts violent criminal illegal aliens first.”
Wu’s 2021 mayoral campaign received over $300,000 from Gary Yu, the founder of Boston International Media Consulting, with the help of a Chinese civic association that he leads, the Daily Caller News Foundation exclusively reported. Yu is listed as an official by an agency of a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) influence and intelligence service called the United Front Work Department (UFWD), and operates as a recruiter for the Chinese government.
Yu has organized Chinese Americans in Massachusetts to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for Democrat lawmakers, including Wu. He has personally donated $45,515 to various Massachusetts Democratic politicians since 2018, including $3,200 to Wu, according to the Massachusetts Office of Campaign and Political Finance.
