Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons vowed to “flood” Boston with agents after Democratic Mayor Michelle Wu doubled down on her pledge to uphold the city’s sanctuary policies and resist the Trump administration’s crackdown on illegal immigration.

Speaking on the local radio program “The Howie Carr Show,” Lyons responded to Wu by saying, “Now you’re going to see more ICE agents come to Boston to make sure that we take these public safety threats out that she wants to let go back into the communities.”

He pointed to the Trump administration’s “Operation Patriot,” which surged federal agents in the Boston area in March and yielded over a thousand arrests.

“We are going to keep doing it in Boston,” he said. “We’re going to continue to do our mission. We’re going to keep making Boston safe as she’s failing to do with these sanctuary city policies.”

    So they’re going to invade? Aren’t they the ones complaining about invasions by “unwanted” people?

    I know it’s all bullshit, but I still have to point out the hypocrisy whenever and wherever they do it.

    So they’re openly admitting to the fact that they’re only doing it out of spite.

    Cowards.
