Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced plans to use public records requests (FOIA) to identify private property owners who respond to a federal request to lease parking spaces to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Wu stated that while the city cannot legally block private leases, her administration will personally contact these owners to discourage them from cooperating with the agency.
Last month, ICE posted a request to lease nearly 250 parking spots in downtown Boston. It was unclear if the agency would open a new facility or just expand its current Boston office. There are about 675,000 residents in Boston.
Wu is a communist bully. She has no authority over private homes, but is capable of doxing them and setting them up as targets for her lunatic allies.
WCVB’s On The Record reports that municipalities have no legal authority to prevent private property owners from renting to federal agencies.
She is making Boston far more dangerous. There is something wrong with her. There is something wrong with the entire Democrat Party.
Wu thinks Somalians are tied to every achievement in the city of Boston, known for its Irish and English heritage. Somalians are new to Boston. In 200, there were 1,606 Somalians. In 2025, there were 8,000.

She said this in January 2024:
“Every person has the legal right to come to the United States and seek asylum or shelter, and those policies have been in place for a long time, but when the review of that individual’s particular situation and then the decision to allow the pathway to stay and/or work authorization that comes along with that when that process is so drawn out, people are stuck.
