Mayor Michelle Wu orders preparations for ICE surge in Boston
Wu's order mandates legal guidance, de-escalation, and public release of footage to protect residents and protestors from federal ICE actions linked to violent incidents in other states.
- On Thursday, February 5, 2026, Mayor Michelle Wu signed an executive order to protect residents from `unconstitutional and violent federal operations,` according to the source.
- Prompted by reports of deadly federal operations, Mayor Michelle Wu said, `Our actions today are informed by what we've all seen over the past few weeks in Minneapolis, St. Paul, Lewiston and Portland`, following similar moves by Gov. Maura Healey last week.
- The order bars Immigration and Customs Enforcement from using city parking lots, garages, parks and buildings and directs Boston Police to prioritize de-escalation and protect public safety during any surge.
- Dozens of municipal leaders, unions and advocacy groups joined Wu on Thursday as a DHS spokesperson called local bans `legally illiterate`, leaving federal-local friction unresolved.
- The move positions Boston within a national coalition of mayors coordinating responses, as city officials said they will use all legal avenues to secure evidence and investigate federal agents, Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden said his office would respond to incidents.
