The Trump administration is launching "Patriot 2.0," a multi-week immigration enforcement operation in Massachusetts, targeting immigrants previously released from custody. This follows a similar operation in May that resulted in 1,500 arrests. The operation is focused on individuals with criminal records, prompting criticism from Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, who defends the city's sanctuary policies. The administration, however, contends these policies hinder the arrest and deportation of criminals. Tensions are high, with Wu preparing for potential federal action, including a National Guard deployment.
