DHS blasts Wu in Boston ICE parking clash

The Department of Homeland Security publicly criticized Boston Mayor Michelle Wu for urging private parking owners to reject ICE staging in the city after ICE sought 249 parking spaces, calling her actions “unhinged.” Wu countered with an open letter and joined with other cities to restrict ICE on municipal property, while filing a FOIA request for local responses. Boston’s city council and officials have expressed opposition to increased ICE presence, as ICE expands its look for parking spaces in multiple cities nationwide.
