Boston Mayor Michelle Wu Confronted By Reporter As She Compares ICE Agents To Nazi Group

Democrat Boston Mayor Michelle Wu compared Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to a New England neo-Nazi group on Wednesday because they both wear masks.

The Boston mayor invoked the New England neo-Nazi group, NSC-131, to argue against the idea that law enforcement organizations wear masks “routinely.” When a reporter asked her to clarify whether she was comparing ICE to NSC-131, Wu did not deny it and stated that Boston Police and other local law enforcement agencies do not wear masks.

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

When a reporter asked for the clarification, Wu stated, “What I said is that Boston Police and no police department that I know of at the local level routinely wears masks.”

Wu has repeatedly clashed with federal immigration officials after she affirmed Boston’s status as a sanctuary city shortly after President Donald Trump entered his second term.

As the Trump administration has cracked down on illegal immigration, Wu and other Democrat mayors testified before the House Oversight Committee on March 5 about their refusal to cooperate with federal agents. Wu could not explicitly answer
