Boston Mayor Michelle Wu testified before the House Oversight Committee, which is a Republican-led panel, which pressed the Mayor on Boston’s immigration policies. The Congressional hearing is part of a federal investigation into "sanctuary cities." Democratic mayors of New York City, Chicago and Denver also appeared before the Committee. In Mayor Wu’s opening statement she hammered down the point that Boston is “the safest major city in the country” and at one point during the hearing went on to say Boston residents are “afraid of the federal government.” Dan went over the key parts of the hearing and discussed immigration policies locally here in Boston as well as nationally.
