One resident told Mass Daily News: “We’re not talking about some kid who overstayed a visa. This guy murdered and kidnapped in Boston. Why would any mayor stand in the way of ICE taking him out of here?”
Wu promised Boston would be a “safe city.” Safe for who?
ICE calls it removal. Families call it relief.
