After hard-Left Democrat Boston Mayor Michelle Wu seemingly compared ICE agents to Nazis, the Department of Homeland Security fired back, calling the apparent comparison “sickening.”

“I don’t know of any police department that routinely wears masks. We know that there are other groups that routinely wear masks. NSC-131 routinely wears masks,” Wu told reporters.

“Mayor, just to clarify, are you comparing ICE to  — you said — to NSC-131, a neo-Nazi group? Are you comparing them to a neo-Nazi group?” a reporter asked.

“What I said is that Boston police, and no police department that I know of at the local level, routinely wears masks” she answered.

“Mayor Wu comparing ICE agents to neo-Nazis is SICKENING,” DHS wrote on X. “When our heroic law enforcement officers conduct operations, they clearly identify themselves as law enforcement while wearing masks to protect themselves from being targeted by known and suspected gang members, murders, and rapists. Attacks and demonization of our brave law enforcement is WRONG. ICE officers are now facing a 413% increase in assaults.”

 

The White House noted, “ICE just conducted its largest ever immigration enforcement operation across Massachusetts and Mayor Wu’s city of Boston, where they arrested nearly 800 illegals with criminal records. …   The streets of Boston and the surrounding area are safer today thanks to the men and women of ICE.  Mayor Wu’s disgusting demonization of ICE agents is part of the reason why they’re seeing a massive uptick in doxing, assaults and death threats.  She should be ashamed of herself.”

 

A member of the United Front Work Department, an intelligence division of the Chinese Communist Party, served as co-chairman of a group that helped raise $300,000 for Wu’s 2021 mayoral campaign. Gary Yu, the co-chairman of the New England Chinese American Alliance, is listed under a different name vis-à-vis the United Front Work Department.

After saying he would go to Boston, “bringing hell with me” after the Boston police commissioner said he would not aid ICE in finding illegal immigrants, border czar Tom Homan was accused of lying about the city by Wu in March. Homan reported that he had made good on his promise and led a team that reportedly found 370 illegal aliens in Boston and surrounding areas, with a majority being significant criminals.

On February 16, Democrat-appointed Boston Police Commissioner Michael Cox echoed Wu, who had promised resistance to the deportations enforced by the Trump administration. Cox said Boston police officers “don’t have authority to enforce federal immigration law.” When asked if his perspective countered federal immigration law, Cox said the Boston Police Department has pretty defined rules and abides by state law.

Speaking at CPAC on February 22, Homan said he would go to Boston while quoting Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp in the classic Western film “Tombstone”:

I read a story last night, the police commissioner of Boston, you said you’d double down on not helping the law enforcement officers of ICE. I’m coming to Boston. I’m bringing hell with me. I looked at the numbers this morning; I stopped counting at nine. Nine child rapists that were in jail in Massachusetts, but rather than honoring an ICE detainer, released them back into the street. You’re not a police commissioner; take that badge off your chest, put it in the desk drawer. You became a politician. You forgot what it’s like to be a cop. And guess what? The men and women of Immigration and Custom Enforcement, they found those predators, and they’re locked back up, and we’re going to deport them from the United States.
