Mayor Wu Urges Parking Facility Owners to Reject Requests From ICE - Boston News, Weather, Sports
Wu said private parking cooperation would create public-safety risks and urged owners to reject ICE requests for nearly 250 spaces.
- On Tuesday, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu urged private parking garage owners to reject requests from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to lease 249 parking spaces in the city.
- In July, ICE issued a public notice seeking 'surge parking' facilities in 14 cities, including Boston, prompting Wu to characterize any procurement as an 'unwarranted escalation' of immigration enforcement.
- Responding on Monday, ICE Boston called Wu a 'pro-criminal illegal alien politician,' adding that private citizens should be allowed to lease property 'free of threats, intimidation and coercion' from her office.
- Although Wu acknowledged she lacks legal authority to block private property leases, her office will use public records requests to identify and contact interested owners to discourage cooperation.
- The Boston Trust Act prevents local police from cooperating with federal civil immigration detainers; the Boston Police Department ignored 57 detainer requests last year despite unsuccessful federal legal challenges.
