BOSTON — Mayor Michelle Wu took to Facebook this week to bemoan federal funding cuts — railing against Donald Trump for pulling money from health care, housing, and research.

But while Wu cried foul over the cash, she proudly reminded residents that Boston police won’t help ICE catch criminal aliens. In other words: less money from Washington, but still no cooperation with Washington’s laws.

FAFO Season in Boston

Wu painted Boston as a victim of Trump’s wrath, portraying the city as under siege by federal cuts. Yet in the same breath she bragged about the city’s “Trust Act,” which blocks Boston police from working with immigration authorities unless there’s already a criminal warrant.

That means if ICE wants to deport a violent offender, city cops are forced to stand down. Wu insists this policy makes Boston safer, claiming immigrants are more willing to call 911. But critics see it as a get-out-of-jail-free card for fugitives.

The Money vs. The Message

Wu rattled off the funding losses — federal grants for schools, roads, hospitals, and public safety. But instead of drawing a line between Boston’s spending priorities and Washington’s purse strings, Wu doubled down on her sanctuary stance.

The irony isn’t lost: Wu wants Washington’s cash while rejecting Washington’s laws.

What’s Next

With states like Florida promising crackdowns on sanctuary cities, Wu’s post sounded less like a plan and more like a tantrum. Federal funding might be drying up, but Wu is still determined to prove Boston will defy the feds — even if it means protecting the very criminals Trump is targeting.
