Boston’s Democratic Mayor Michelle Wu has declared that the city will not cooperate with the Trump administration’s plans for mass deportations of illegal immigrants. Wu’s bold statement came ahead of President-elect Donald Trump’s push to use the military to address illegal immigration, which he has labeled a “national emergency.”

Her stance directly challenges federal law enforcement efforts and effectively transforms Boston into a sanctuary city, prioritizing illegal immigrants over the safety of American citizens.

The consequences of such defiance are staggering. By refusing to assist in removing individuals who have entered the country unlawfully, Mayor Wu is not only undermining the incoming administration but also endangering her constituents.

This move highlights how Democrats, who constantly accuse others of undermining democracy, blatantly ignore the authority of a duly elected president. It’s a textbook example of hypocrisy and sets a dangerous precedent for cities across the nation. But Trump just shut Wu down.

From The Post Millennial:
President-elect Donald Trump indicated Monday that he will use the military to conduct mass deportations of illegal immigrants by declaring the situation a national emergency…

Trump did precisely that during his first presidency: declaring an emergency at the border on Feb. 15, 2019 as Democrats in Congress continued to resist his measures to establish border security, the Daily Wire noted.

Trump’s Emergency Action to Secure the Border

President-elect Trump has made his plans clear: he’s ready to use the military to combat illegal immigration, treating it as a national security crisis. On Truth Social, he confirmed his commitment by responding “TRUE!!” to Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton’s report about the administration’s strategy.

Trump intends to bring back his proven approach from 2019, when he declared a national emergency at the southern border to combat the influx of drugs and criminals entering the U.S.

Trump’s border policies were a cornerstone of his first term, though they faced relentless opposition from Democrats. He pushed for a border wall, fought to secure funding, and worked to deport criminal aliens.

His efforts were reversed by the Biden administration, leading to what Trump’s allies describe as a record-breaking immigration crisis. With at least 10 million illegal immigrants entering the country during Biden’s term, Trump’s plan to involve the military in deportations is seen by many as not just practical but necessary.

Democrats’ Resistance Fuels Chaos

The Biden administration’s open-border policies and leniency on deportations have created a perfect storm. Illegal immigration soared to unprecedented levels, while deportations plummeted.

Around 54% of voters support Trump’s hardline approach, but resistance from sanctuary cities like Boston could hamstring his efforts. Trump’s incoming Border Czar, Tom Homan, has vowed to “flood” sanctuary cities with immigration agents to assist in deportations.

Yet, local officials like Boston’s Mayor Wu and Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell have openly refused to comply. Homan’s plan relies heavily on deploying additional ICE agents and even military personnel to ensure the laws are enforced.

Wu’s defiance reveals a troubling reality: Democrats appear more focused on obstructing Trump than protecting American citizens.

As Trump ramps up efforts to remove dangerous criminal cartels and restore order, Democratic leaders like Wu are doubling down on their sanctuary policies, signaling to illegal immigrants that they can violate U.S. laws without consequences.

The Stakes Are Higher Than Ever

At its core, this battle is about the rule of law. Americans deserve leaders who enforce immigration laws, not cherry-pick which ones to follow.

Sanctuary cities like Boston turn federal enforcement into a political football, risking the safety of their residents to score ideological points.

Trump’s proposed military-backed deportation plan is not just about reducing illegal immigration—it’s about taking back control of a system Democrats have allowed to spiral out of control.

His critics might label it extreme, but for millions of Americans, it’s a necessary response to years of neglect and lawlessness.

Key Takeaways:

• Defying federal law: Boston’s mayor refuses to cooperate with Trump’s mass deportation plans.
• The president-elect plans to use the military to secure the border and restore order.
• Democrats’ sanctuary policies undermine democracy and embolden illegal immigration.
