The Trump administration launched "Patriot 2.0" in Massachusetts, targeting undocumented immigrants with criminal records for deportation. The operation, criticized by Boston Mayor Michelle Wu as a political maneuver, involves federal agents arresting criminals released by local authorities. Wu stated that Boston resources won't be used, and the federal government's actions don't enhance community safety. The Justice Department is already suing Wu over Boston's sanctuary city policies. Similar operations are planned for other sanctuary cities, potentially involving the National Guard.
