Mayor Wu's Executive Order To Protect Bostonians From Unconstitutional, Violent Federal Operations

Published | Video Starts at 00:59

Our police Officers, firefighters and EMTs have taken an oath to protect our residents and they will immediately render medical assistance if needed. While the federal government hides behind masks, we will be transparent. This order directs city departments to release surveillance and body worn camera footage of violence or property damage by federal agents in accordance with state law. It bars federal immigration agents from using city buildings, parking lots and parks for their operations. The order says that we will investigate all crimes committed in Boston, including those committed by federal agents. (00:59–01:09)
