Boston Mayor Michelle Wu responded Tuesday to an ultimatum from the federal government over sanctuary city policies.

Playing defense hasn't been hard for Wu. Trump has made it a good year to be an experienced progressive in Massachusetts, especially when the alternative is an untested centrist and billionaire's son like Kraft. Zoom in: Both Kraft and Wu have campaigned on the biggest issue facing the city: affordability and our absurd cost of living.

Boston Mayor Wu insists the city will not comply with Trump-era immigration policies, despite federal pressure.

Mayor Michelle Wu had harsh words for members of the Trump administration after they asked her to abandon the city's "sanctuary" policies.

Every elected official enjoys the incumbency advantage when seeking reelection. But Josh Kraft alleges that Mayor Michelle Wu Wu has crossed the line into improper behavior.

Last week, U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi said she sent “demand letters” to Boston and 31 other cities and states that she alleges limit police cooperation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
