Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is facing severe backlash from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the White House for comparing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to neo-Nazis on Wednesday.
Michelle Wu on Wednesday attacked agents, comparing their practice of wearing masks to “other groups that routinely wear masks,” including NSC-131, a New England group classified by the Anti Defamation League, Southern Poverty Law Center, and other far-left groups as a neo-Nazi group. “I don’t know of any police department that routinely wears masks,” she said.
However, ICE is not a police department, but a federal law enforcement agency under DHS. They regularly wear masks during enforcement operations to protect both their safety and the integrity of their enforcement operations.
Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons recently addressed the mask criticisms in a news conference, announcing the arrest of roughly 1,500 ICE targets in Wu’s home state of Massachusetts. “I’m sorry if people are offended by them wearing masks, but I’m not going to let my officers and agents go out there and put their lives on the line and their family on the line because people don’t like what immigration enforcement is,” he said.
