Trump Ramps Up ICE Raids in Boston, Cracking Down on Sanctuary City Havens for Criminal Illegals
President Donald Trump’s administration is gearing up for a major immigration enforcement operation in Boston, sources inside and outside the White House confirm. The initiative aims to flood the liberal stronghold with ICE agents, targeting undocumented immigrants in one of America’s most defiant sanctuary cities.
The operation, set to unfold in the coming weeks, follows a pattern of hitting Democrat-controlled urban areas that shield illegal aliens from deportation. Boston, under Mayor Michelle Wu, has long resisted federal efforts to remove dangerous criminals from the streets.
“The highest degree of national security and public safety concerns are in sanctuary cities,” White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller told reporters on Friday. “So without getting into specifics, and revealing any operational details, the president has been clear repeatedly that we’re going to be prioritizing enforcement in these sanctuary jurisdictions as a matter of public safety and national security.”
This Boston push comes hot on the heels of a similar surge in Chicago last month, with officials indicating the two could even overlap. It’s all part of Trump’s aggressive plan to fulfill his pledge of deporting millions of illegals who threaten American communities. Despite early hurdles, the recent passage of the “One Big Beautiful Bill” has pumped billions into ICE, supercharging their ability to get the job done.
“All these sanctuary cities that refuse to work with ICE where we know public safety threats are being released every day into this country, especially those cities, we’re going to address that,” border czar Tom Homan said at the White House this week. “So we’re going to take the assets we have and move them to problem areas like sanctuary cities where we know for a fact there are public safety threats, illegal aliens on the streets every day.”
Mayor Wu fired back in a statement Saturday, defending her city’s policies. “We are the safest major city in the country because all of our community members know that they are part of how we keep the entire community safe,” she said. “Boston will never back down from being a beacon of freedom and a home for everyone. Stop attacking cities to hide your administration’s failures.”
But the Department of Homeland Security isn’t buying it. A DHS spokesperson emphasized that the focus remains on the most vicious offenders. “It is no surprise that these criminals flock to sanctuary cities where politicians protect them and allow them to roam free on American streets putting American lives at risk,” the spokesperson said. “DHS will go to wherever these criminal illegal aliens are—including Chicago and Boston. Under President Trump and Secretary Noem, nowhere is a safe haven for criminal illegal aliens. If you come to our country illegally and break our laws, we will hunt you down, arrest you, deport you, and you will never return.”
The strategy ties into Trump’s wider crime-fighting agenda, expanding from successes in Washington, D.C., where National Guard support has enabled local police to team up with ICE. This has let the president deliver on restoring safety in chaos-plagued cities.
“We go in, we will solve Chicago within one week, maybe less,” Trump said earlier this week. “But within one week we’ll have no crime in Chicago, like no crime in D.C.”
Officials at Naval Station Great Lakes near Chicago revealed they’ve been tapped by DHS for potential support in ICE missions. The Boston and Chicago operations are expected to start with ramped-up arrests, much like in Los Angeles, which could provoke pushback from locals and prompt National Guard deployment to safeguard federal agents.
Tensions have boiled over this month as the Justice Department updated its list of non-compliant sanctuary jurisdictions. Attorney General Pam Bondi blasted 32 cities, including Boston and Chicago, for blocking federal law enforcement. She’s vowed to yank funding, send in more officers, and even pursue criminal charges against obstructive leaders.
“You better comply, or you’re next,” she said on Fox Business.
